Manual only the DACT - can be remotely controlled but it's clunky 😄 Fully remote controable the Bent  - nothing comes remotely close to above they sound very similar as they use the same topology and surface mount resistors.

DACT is only 24 steps so limited on the bottom I.E. the first step is too loud with digital sources, the Bent have 60 steps which makes it a clear choice.  The Dact is about 1/4 price of the Bent

Mofi,

Potentiometer only the TKD clearly is the best choice, both I mention above is stepped attenionators.

Good Listening
