turn on dac preamp and amp with one button

Is there a clean solution where I can turn on my dac, preamp and amplifier with one flip of a button? If I can remotely power them on that will be even better.

I was using a power conditioner from furman (elite 15 pfi) but the switched on and delayed switched on outlets need to be triggered by a 12v trigger input, which I don't know how to supply easily and turn it on/off using a button or a remote. Has anyone used something like a flash trigger or projector 12v wireless trigger to control a power conditioner?

Can they be used for audio device's trigger? Thanks.

If your preamp has a "switched power outlet". you can simply use a DC12v Walmart with 3.5mm output plug to provide the 12v trigger to your Furman elite 15 pfi.

@soix  Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately my amp is pure class A and tube so i can't leave them on 24/7. 

@elliottbnewcombjr @yakbob  Thanks for the info!  You are right none of my components have 12v trigger inputs. 

I decided to get a power sequencer from furman which allows me to turn on the dac, pre, and amp up and down in sequence. It does not have a remote but I can just flip one button. Thanks!

Unless you’re running tubes or Class-A solid state you can consider just leaving them on 24/7.  That’s what I do.

this one came up easily in a search, 'remote control surge protector'. currently available.

I would want one with less outlets, as I only want my pre-amp and amp on the dedicated circuit for them.

Is it safe to assume none of your main components have a 12v trigger output?

If so, the ebay unit may work if it is being powered by the iec plug that is plugged into it.  Another option would be a wireless remote switched power strip from Tripp Lite and plugging your furman into that: https://www.tripplite.com/eco-surge-6-outlet-surge-protector-6-ft-cord-2100-joules-remote-controlled...

You could get some turn on thump depending on your components, so tread carefully.
