I've found another VU+ Duo2 box (brand new from shop) and I'm very surprised as new box has the same problem.
Some people will start saying that the problem is with my Hi-Fi. I don't think so, as using a different box (not VU+) and the same cables I can't notice any problem.
I think, that the problem is with every VU+ Duo2 box but no one else spotted that, apart from me as the problem is not with every youtube videoclip.

Thank for tests but I will not leave it till I sort it out. The problem is that VU+ never replied to my bug report. They have replaced my mainboard for some reason but have never fixed the problem.
I can say that I have tested three different Duo2 receivers and on all of them I discovered the same problem. I have also tested my box on different hi-fi (Denon AV receiver + Focal speakers) and now I know that there is nothing wrong with my hi-fi. The problem is with the Duo2 hardware and I think it may concern power supply unit, not a mainboard.

I also have some issue with the optical sound out on VU+Duo2
The volume has to be increased to almost max to get a decent sound on my LG Surround system.
When i change to RCA out the wolume set works fine with normal volume.
I have switched the optical cable, but it does not help.
Also the LG surround system is tested with another optical signal in, no problems.

Sorry guys, but I need to dig further. Today, a have sent another bug report. It was as follow:
"Hello,
Why you people do not confess that your Duo2 receivers have a bug (hardware)?! I tested three Duo2 receivers and every one had the same problem. While playing the youtube videoclips (music mp4), you can hear a lot of rubbish noise coming from the hi-fi speakers (not TV). The same videoclips are fine when you play them from diffrent source (PC, laptop, Bluray player, DVD, etc.) using same hi-fi system and same speakers.
This is not my first email to you. You have never replied to my previous bug reports. In my opinion, the problem is with a hardware. That's why you can not fix it easy and you are worry to publish that to the world as too many receivers have been sold already and that would cost you a fortune to sort it out.
I hope you will answer to my email, please."
Anyone from Leeds (UK) who could help? Common guys!

It seems like they know about the problem but I'm still waiting for a new release which will eliminate the bug.

I put the same post in here http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/duo2-before-you-buy.19519/
for a new activity as people may don't want read about S/PDIF.

vow, I was testing spidf out of my Vu solo, and indeed it's very poor,
I haven't noticed before, because I was using an old receiver, but when connecting to an external DAC and integrated, you can noticed it's very harsh practically unlistenable, I tried different high quality cables,
but when using TV digital out (connected to vusolo by hdmi) to external DAC, sound is much better, means that vu+ hdmi out is ok, only spidf is affected,
this is only about sound quality, I have no audio drop outs or else,
no wonder nobody notice it, I did it only on a pretty good revealing audio system,
