I recently updated my D120 to the latest 9.0.1 firmware and have found that when I activate the Balance and Tone Controls (by default, pressing the bottom-right button on the remote), the soundstage shrinks dramatically and the level drops by several dB. Once I exit the "Balance" setting, the sound goes back to normal. I can either long-press the bottom-right button to exit the Balance and Tone Controls entirely, or short-press that button and move on to "Bass", "Treble", "SAM %", and then the page with multiple settings (Mute, ICM, Phase, etc.). The actual Balance setting doesn't seem to be causing the effect. The sound is different only when I have the Balance setting activated, and is restored to normal once I exit that setting.
This appears to only happen with USB. The other inputs I use (Toslink and Phono) are unaffected. I have not tried other inputs.
Has anyone else experienced this?
