Bluesound Node volume pot setting for an integrated amp

I use the Node volume control because it has finer steps than my integrated. I can get stuck in a too loud, too soft situation otherwise. With the Node wide open I set the integrated at my listening max and lower it from there with the Node. It’s allegedly a compromise in sound quality but so is music too loud or too soft. For an integrated with a continuous analog volume pot (not stepped) Ii might use the fixed out on the Node.  

fuzztone;

   I know but my blind wife needs as few buttons and settings to do as 

possible . She has the voice activated roku .

well...a little of everything sort of

I disconnected the ARC from the Node but left it plugged into the tv. Now

the roku volume indicates that it is disabled.

The optical goes from the tv to the int. amp. which is using the DAC in the amp.

And RCA from the Node to the amp. Which uses the DAC from the Node.

Now playing the two volume pot thing when streaming with the Node only 

It works and sounds good but the aggravation is something else !

Now...how do I stop the Node from streaming an app when not in use ?

Thanks

I use the optional Node remote to pause or power off (stop streaming). Otherwise just pause play in the ap or at the Node itself.  To turn it on I find it convenient to push a Tunein Radio preset 1 - 10 while all the gear gets up and running. Remote volume control is sweet.
