VU meter while using the RS250A as a USB DAC

#1

Dear ROSE Support,
First of all, thank you for your continuous software updates and improvements.
I would like to submit two feature requests for the RS250A:
Please enable the VU meter while using the RS250A as a USB DAC.
Currently, when I connect my computer to the RS250A via USB, the VU meter is not available. I believe many users, including myself, would really appreciate having the VU meter active during USB DAC playback.
Please consider adding an RA280-style VU meter.
At the moment, the RS250A includes a VU meter inspired by the RA180. It would be wonderful to have an additional VU meter design that matches the RA280 as well.
I believe both features would improve the user experience and make the RS250A even more enjoyable to use.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to future updates.
Best regards,
Bereczki Béla (Hungary)

-The latest firmware, version 5.11.03, installed successfully on my RS250A without any issues.

Hi,
I asked Rose about this issue w respect to the USB input on the RS520.

Unfortunately as it is currently implemented, Rose cannot do this.

You can probably find their response to my question.

@Ciccio
Regarding your first inquiry, please find our response below

When configured for USB IN, the Rose device functions as an external USB DAC.
Audio data flows directly from your PC to the internal DAC over USB. Since ROSE OS cannot access or analyze the PCM audio signal in this mode, the VU Meter functionality is unavailable.

Thank you for your understanding.
