Remote Volume Control for my Decware amp
I recently received a Decware Zen Triode integrated amp (after 3 year wait). The amp is exceptional and puts my Krell Duo 300 XD to shame. The only drawback is the manual volume control. I really enjoy cranking up certain songs and adjusting it down when volume is too loud. While I can run it through my Schiit Freya Plus that was paired with my Krell, i fear I’ll degrade the sound with more connectors and electronics In the signal path. Although the Freya plus has pass through mode, the Freya may not match the quality of the Decware. Is there a solution that will not degrade the purity of the signal path? Steve had recommended one if his devices, but it’s a waiting list item and i Can’t wait another 3…4…5 years.

@glennewdick I am only skilled at taking things apart! Besides, I would never touch this amp as it feels like a work of art. Not only would Steve Deckert void my warranty, he'd curse my name for violating his principles around minimizing the length and components in the signal path. |
You’re not changing anything electrically in the amp itself. Chances are there is a motorized version of the volume pot that’s in there now. You would just add a little board with an outboard wall wort power supply to run it. This could all be external just the new volume pot is inside the amp replacing the non motorized pot currently inside. Anyway. Good luck on finding something that works for you. Adding anything is going to effect the sound more then a new volume pot would specially if it’s just changing from a motorized version of what’s already there. Granted there is space for the larger motorized pot. |
@paradisecom - I have the Freya Plus and I will try it after my burn in period is over 100 hours. @sfgak I like that idea. A mechanical solution. To make it more difficult, there separate volume controls for the left and right.
