Probably a power issue / power-up glitching. You could try adjusting
the "DC OK" control (see http://www.rhodeschroma.com/?id=polaris for
documentation). You can also try some rapid power cycling NASA-style
to see if you can get it to "boot up" correctly and verify the rest
of the synth.

You might want to measure the power supplies in the unit but be
careful, if you blow the DAC you are in trouble! It would be better
to just return the synth.
