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.
I dont think there is anything self adjusting, my Clearaudio MC pickup is set to 420uV wich is what Clearaudio stated in it`s whitepapper. But I can go down to 250uV in the meny while palying a record without clipping so there is a bit of testing there to be done to get the right output and not to much noise.
