Why are the scales used in the VU meter still the wrong type? The WiiM Ultra is a pre-amp, not a power amplifier.

The meter must show the digital signal volume as dBFS with 0 dBFS as max.
It doesn't make sense to have a headroom of +10 dB on a digital pre-amp, as the current meters shows.

This is just about to change the background to have the correct scale.
Both types could be made available for those who want the legacy look.
