    Went with sonnetteach in the end. Was easily available on Amazon. Plus the m2 slot was the selling point. Considering it’s doing all the stuff connected to the single thunderbolt port to the Mac, the speed of around 700mb/s is really good. You can’t squeeze more from that poor port which is also supplying the monitor

    Hello Chris. Any update of this dock. I’m planning on getting it. But I’m debating between owc go dock and this dock. The m2 option in great but I have very nice experience with owc. Owc is very reliable I don’t know about sonnet.

    I heard a number of complaints about the TS4 ejecting external drives while there MacBook pros go to sleep. Does this dock do that as well? Is it just a simple battery option on the Mac that needs to be changed? I’m also trying to decide between the two drives. Which one do you like better? Thanks.

    Finally got my hands on a set, i like that it supports more than one monitor on the mac studio m2 max. one thing I don't like about it is that when my mac go to sleep mode, the built-in nvme drive and other external drive i connect to it becomes disconnected, but the mouse antenna still works.

    hello. Do you know the quality or bandwith of RCA output? Which chip is used for the DAC for RCA output?
  • @heyjjaysonn
    Will I still have to download the displaylink driver for usage of 2 external monitor on an m2 max mac studio?

    03:45 "macOS does not work well with the Displayport protocol" - could you go in more detail? What do you mean?
