You should reach out to Ayre, maybe they can help you with the technical details. I would be interested in getting the apple remote to work.
Anyone use Apple TV remote for preamp volume?
I recently acquired an Ayre K-5xe preamp, but it unfortunately didn’t come with a remote. My 4th generation Apple TV remote can apparently be programmed to control the volume of a receiver. I assume that it would also work for a preamp, but wonder if anyone has tried this. I would need to find an Ayre remote to borrow for this programming process, so hope to have a good idea it works before tracking one down!
