Yeah, its not bad, is it? Just as a matter of interest - have you tried comparing the sound using the analog outs from the TP straight into your amp with your current setup? The DAC in the TP ought to be at least as good as that DAC, though of course this will be highly subjective. For the volume control: as a general principle control volume as late as possible, assuming that nothing is being overdriven in the chain. If its convenient to use the amp volume control, then use it and leave the TP and DAC at MAX. Having said that, for normal 16 bit sources you do have quite a bit of headroom before you will start losing any SQ. The freezing is disappointing, it shouldn't do that. Are you connected wireless or wired? (wireless networks cause a lot of problems around here.....). For the software version, go to "settings" on the web interface and follow your nose. You should be running 7.0 these days.
