USB DAC connection problem - further update

I reported my problem connecting my computer with the USB of my Esoteric K-03 a few days back (see link). Based on feedback from Esoteric, I put the KS support dll and Wasapi dll into foobar. Now, I am able to output up to 96kHz data to the Esoteric when it is in USB-NOR mode (with Foobar output chosen as Wasapi Esoteric SPDIF. BTW, KS mode does not work for 88.2 files but Wasapi does.

However, switching the DAC into HS1 or HS2 mode (Esoteric's 192 supported async mode), the computer will go through the routine of finding drivers as usual (I have already installed the software from Esoteric's website), but would end up saying "device disconnected" towards the end of the drill. I have also tried removing and reinstalling the software and that did not work either (No other software has been started during the whole process).

At this point, I have 2 questions:
1) With the setup in Wasapi Esoteric SPDIF, am I being in async mode already?
2) What could be the problem with the Esoteric being seen as disconnected as the installation process was going along.

Please kindly let me know if there are other things I should try.

Many thanks.
