OSX Yosemite Upgrade and DAC Malfunction

Hi, folks. I "upgraded" my MacAir to OSX Yosemite on Tuesday and now my DAC (Esoteric K-03) won't work properly. Whether on iTunes, Amarra or Audirvana, I get about 15 seconds in before the sound begins to warble, distort, chatter and finally stop altogether. I'm assuming it's a driver issue (there hasn't been an updated Mac driver on Esoteric's website since 2011), but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there are any creative fixes anyone has discovered. Thanks!

A bit off topic now that I don't have a general problem with Yosemite. I think the reason I need to log on to web sites that previously didn't require it is a change in the Clear History command I use when leaving Safari. It now reads clear history and web site data, so I suspect it clears cookies as well. 1Password fills in everything when I click on the log-in box.

Had the same problem with my K-01 on HS-2. Works fine on HS-1. I presume a new driver update will come shortly?

Has anyone had any further experience or information regarding the HS-2 incompatibilities? . I have tried to contact Esoteric and it now goes to Integra Home theater and can I just say they are less than helpful, in fact they are totally unaware that they even cover the products.
