SPL Diamond DAC - no remote control

It’s not even so much me as it is my wife. This system is in the living room and it’s hard enough to explain that she can’t control the sound from the app and has to use a remote. Walking up to the unit from one end to the other of a rather large room is a non-starter. 

One would think they would have learned from Benchmark’s introduction of the DAC 1 - also pro gear and I think their main competition. It did not take them long to add a remote after all the feedback from their customers. 

Because of their pro roots, they assume everyone is sitting at a mixing console where everything is in reach

Too bad her app can't change the volume.   I have to ask....  how does it sound?  

Also how are you getting your music ? Qobuz ?  Tidal?   

After an exceedingly long story it is in transit as an exchange for my Phonitor X that had developed an undetermined terminal issue. I was offered the X with the new 786xe DAC, but really wanted to try the 786 DAC with the 120v technology. I was going to use my XE as HPA and pair it up with a S800 amp. That amp is something special by the way  I have two of them. The quality of the sound is amazing they just can’t figure the connectivity options out for us mere audiophiles that add things like say subwoofers and bi-amping. 

I stream using mostly Qobuz using Auralic Aries G1’s with Roon.
