Same here. Stable and great build quality.

Have you tried a new drive with fresh installs?
Does "Safe Boot" log-in allow normal shutdown?
5,1 Macs should still be hanging in there.

I do agree with Sonnet recommendation.

We've got Magma here and it works without a hiccup. HDX2 inside, connected via thunderbolt. Switch on-off is automatic.
One idea though do you completely remove the power from it at the end of the day? Because after it receives grid power, it might need a few second to really wake up. I know your problem is at the shut down, but who knows...

Not compatible. Please see:

Sonnet with HDX1 here - also solid - no issues

Sonnet + HDX is a noisy combination though. I had to build a DIY ISO-Box for mine.

I don't have any Magma knowledge to offer, but I would first try removing the Avid core audio plug as johnnyz says. Did the trick on my PTHD 12.5.2 running Yosemite, 10.10.5.
