Yes, you are right. The volume switching in DOS1 was something to consider. I have only tested DOS2 with UPnP and Optical so far but it seems that UPnP volume is synchronized with the Devialet App volume. In practical terms that means, whatever volume I set in the UpNp/OpenHome app will be the same as I would see in the Devialet App. This works instantly, e.g. I have Linn Kazoo open on my Mac and when I change volume I would see that instantly in the Devialet app. I did not encounter any issues with volume changes to "too loud" when switching from one source to the other so far.
