The Rossini 2.0 software includes:
Updated RingDAC mapping algorithm based on the Vivaldi 2.0. This includes user-selectable mapping optimizations to allow for further tailoring of the sonic character of the DAC.
Addition of a DSDx2 up-sampling option adapted from Vivaldi 2.0 and Vivaldi One.
Addition of DSD Filter 5 from Vivaldi 2.0 ( A personal favorite of mine when listening to DSD on my Vivaldi DAC )
Improved handling of MQA transitions to eliminate dropouts
New time display modes for Rossini Player
Support for app control of a connected Rossini Transport (requires update to the dCS Rossini app via the App Store)
I have not played with the 2x DSD upsampling yet, but I did take some time to listen to the three different mappings and prefer the new map 1, sounds a bit fuller with more air around voices and instruments. (map 2 is what the Rossini had before)
