I don’t know if it’s the USB hardware itself or the firmware they updated to accommodate the new Unison board. Either way, I’m going to let it run a few more days and reevaluate. If it doesn’t improve, I’ll go back to the Gen 5. Bummer.

Give it 200 hours and see what you think. It sounds exactly like a number of digital components I've implemented in the last year at 48 hours of burn in, including the Sonore Optical Module and the EtherREGEN.
