Overview: Fe Player 2.0

The volume control built into the Fe Player was difficult to set to 100%. During testing, we were not able to set it to unity gain. Without unity gain, bit-transparency was not achievable. Also, our tests would not be uniformly accurate. Therefore, no testing was done with this player.
