The problem goes away with reprogramming the CPLD (press and hold '1'
while power-cycling).

The theory was that the DAC and processor somehow got in a state where
they were out of synch?

IIRC there was this report, another couple, and then SD asked to get in
touch with them regarding a unit that failed in this way, most likely to
do a post-mortem (don't quote me on that, but I recall the problem was
taken very seriously!)  No reports since then.

I don't think that falls into the realm of audio, wouldn't it come
under the category of "pyrotechnics"?  :-)

The point is, some sort of attenuation is like insurance.  Just like
insurance, you don't want or expect something bad to happen, but in a
rare circumstance it just might and when it does, you'll be glad you
had some modicum of protection.
