I haven't tried yet, but the publicity about the new phono stage mentions continual optimisation.
Maybe the start ADC gain setting is low to be well away from ever clipping and it will slowly adjust as you play records to optimise the ADC settings whilst avoiding input clipping.
Certainly, with the old firmware, setting my input voltage to the cartridge makers specified 5cm/sec output voltage resulted on ADC input clipping on some heavily modulated LPs.
