Why stereo out?

Stereo overtones coming from the Volcas? See, if you did attempt to listen to them through headphones, you'd know that what you are saying is entirely incorrect. There can't be any stereo overtones from the Volcas because all the DAC is doing is doubling a mono signal. Oscillators, by nature, are mono, which is why a panning effect would need to be implemented in order to produce stereo effects.

In fact, if you unplug the Volcas from your USB interface, arm a stereo track in your DAW, record a few minutes of audio, then play it back through a compressor at full volume, those stereo overtones you are hearing will still be there. They are being generated by the audio interface, not the Volcas.
