Pathetic range of Topping remote

I think it's Randy Newman's fault. 1977 I believe...

I had an smsl that had the same garbage range..not to mention a lot of crap from many elite/elusive hifi manufacturers as well.

Funny thing is...I have a 50 dollar Google chromecast dongle plugged in/buried behind a cluster fk of things in a rack. Its remote can reach/work perfectly from 20 ft away or more at any freaking angle.i can even talk to it amd make it do all kinds of things (all of that on a 50 dollar device).

These Hifi manufacturer bozos (special olympics level in execution, but are somehow elite/elusive apparently!) should be schooled by Google on how to make a Fing remote control.

That looks nice. It says learning so I'll give one a shot.  I have lost count of how many remotes I have sent back. :)

I combined two remotes into one. I use it to control volume on my integrated and then use the channel and mute button to pause and track advance on my BS Node
