Interesting! Does the Neyrinck software work with the 003? Here's my situation below.

I recently upgraded to a Mac Pro 7,1 from my 4,1 and it's running Big Sur. The driver installer for the 003 will not run on Big Sur so I had to manually install the driver by unpacking the contents of the installer and placing the files in the appropriate locations on MacOS. I was able to get the 003 running under Big Sur, but it came with the problem of Pro Tools freezing on Quit until the 003 was powered off. Once the 003 was powered off, Pro Tools would complete the process of closing.

So something in Pro Tools was not able to disconnect from the 003, likely due to having to workaround the driver installation. Powering down the 003 was an easy enough workaround but I know these things have fragile power supplies and I didn't want to be power cycling the unit every time I closed Pro Tools. So I opted to finally move on to the S1, which is cool. But I was content with the 003 as well.
