XMC-2 Firmware 2.2 Update - Volume Output Reduced?

[art3mis]

I have XMC-2 and UPA-700. Prior to the 2.2 update, I was able to get a volume level at -16db that sounded just loud enough to enjoy and not to annoy the neighbors. Now I have to go to -4db to get the same volume level.

I understand this is not an empirical measurement, but the difference is very apparent.

Why has this change been made? Is anyone else facing the same issue?

Thanks

Mine got a little louder with the FW2.2 update, but that was mostly due to the excess bass. Now that I've got the bass under control the volume is exactly the same as before. And my knowledge of this is measuring same for same with REW where I keep track of all the settings of everything involved including volume.
