New functions
1. Added USB Digital Output function, for use with external DAC. M6 recognizes connected DAC automatically and switches to digital output. Volume of USB output is controlled by M6. We recommend to set it to 100%. USB volume is separate from analogue output volume. After you disconnect USB DAC, system will switch to previously set volume level. We recommend to open music software on M6 before connecting external DAC.
2. Added standard Android virtual buttons. To enable, go to Settings > Display > Virtual Key mode and turn on “Navigation bar visible”.
