USB DAC causes Instant Wake from Sleep

When I connect my 'SteelSeries GameDac' to my Hackintosh, it functions as anticipated, yet it causes my system to instantly wake from sleep.

I've tried changing the USB-port its connected to, but to no avail. This is likely not a USB-mapping issue, as other devices connected, don't cause this issue.

Using the following command: poset -g log | grep -e "Sleep.*due to" -e "Wake.*due to", shows that the wake issue was caused by the following:

DarkWake from Normal Sleep [CDNP] : due to XDCI/ Using AC (Charge:0%)

  • macOS Ventura 13.5
  • OpenCore 0.9.3

Is anyone familiar with this kind of issue? or what could potentially be causing it?
