## Updated Features
- Added Button on Setup Menu that Toggles Volume controls between “Fixed” and “Variable”

- The “+” and “-“ buttons will affect the Max Volume of the DSD as it has always done

- If the unit is in Variable Mode upon power cycling it will rest to volume level 25

XMOS was not fully USB 2 compliant, leading to timing issues with bit depth changes when using ROCK or some other modern Linux distros.
Owners of Mytek, Audiolab, Wyred for Sound and some other XMOS-equipped DACs have reported noises or loss of sound until they restarted their DAC.
Roon contacted DAC vendors with info on this known XMOS issue.
Did PS Audio remedy this problem?
