Converted all my drivers to the high output versions. I have had zero problems.

I switched to Leadshine drivers that are a drop in replacement but are completely silent, use less power at idle (so the motors also don’t get hot) and don’t resonate in the same way. Totally worth the $200 upgrade ($50 per driver).

I also have the high power drivers from Langmuir on x and z axis and I upgraded the original y drivers with Stepperonline DM860T which work silent and at half the cost of langmuir. Check my video here in the forum on the upgrade. Cheers

I’m still using the EM542S with my machine. I’m not using CutControl however, so I would check in with people who have upgraded drivers and are still using the stock software. The EM524S can be configured to be a drop-in replacement, but CutControl doesn’t give you any control over speed and acceleration.
