Description of Issue
I have to be sure of what changes can I do to improve my sound under the principal setup at home, which is Project S2 Ultra+ Topping D10S
I have a lot to read and I will, to optimize as much as possible my listening pleasure. Sure I will generate more questions about what and how, but now I have to easy questions
volume is not working. I mean, is fixed and, despite I can see numbers moving on scale from 0 to 100, the volume is not changing from ROON.
I can change the volume if opening the ProJect app, which seems to me unuseful. To use Roon to start music and to use ProJect to set volume? No way, man!
and also I wonder if this is related to the message that recognices my DAC but I can’t assign it into ROON
I really would appreciate how to manage the volume.
About the DAC, the only problem is that “SAVE” option (if changes applied) is not working. Even you can see it in other color than grey, is not making any action.
Many thanks!

Not sure about the volume but it’s probably related to this part.
No Topping unit is actually"recognized" by Roon as they are not Roon Tested status.
So you can’t identify it via Roon.
Yes it may seem silly that it even asks to identify when we know it can’t be identified.
But they still work, I have a Topping E30 shows same way.
I have done a hard factory reset (which involves a downloaded Project file onto a pendrive formatted as MBR) and after a short configuration process from the very beginning now I can control the volume from Roon app.
2nd step is to solve why the DAC has to be unplugged and plugged again after every disconnection to get sound.
Roon is interesting but configuration is a little pain in the ass, sometimes
