A50+ bugs and perhaps feature request

So I have A50+ connected to samsung smart TV.
Bug with optical cable:
-sometimes I need to restart the A50+ in order to start receiving proper sound levels. Somehow in time it gets very silent even on volume max.
-Device does not turn off or on or could not be controlled in any way from TV. This is more like status que, but it would be perfect I could control it via TV instead of 2 remotes.
-overall in optical mode it produces sound is very silent even on max compared with Bluetooth. Sometimes restarting the device helps to bring some more loudness.
Bugs with Bluetooth
-some as with optical - sometimes I need to restart the A50+ in order to start receiving proper sound levels. Somehow in time it gets very silent even on volume max.
-sometimes one audio channel disappear. If that happens I need to restart the device.
Overall bugs:
-Somewhat overall audio levels are quite low. I have maxed settings in web interface. I use 2 RK525 5.25". I think that those speakers could be lauder
-There are no filters in software to normalize very loud peaks that might appear watching a move.
overall at the moment I think connecting A50+ to a TV is not a great experience.

I also use the A50+ with a TV (Sony kd55-gx9505), but I do not experience these phenomena. The two devices are connected in two ways, with optical and analog rca cables, the latter was needed so that the volume could be controlled with the TV remote control (the headphone output of the TV is connected to the analog input of the A50+). The A50+ is always on, the LED feedback is off so it doesn’t light up. I struggled with the exact opposite at the beginning, I had to reduce the volume level on the webinterface to 50% so that it was not too loud. Against sudden volume peaks, a dsp compressor in the device would be really good, I don’t think it would be too much to ask, but I find that the development of these boxes has been completed for some time.
