Putting price aside: Anyone else think that would be a wonderful remote to have for your system...if for instance it could be programmed to run your system?
It looks good. Personally I think there is a limit to how much you should want this style of remote to do, but that might be because I use roon, which mandates a phone or bigger to control. If this sort of remote can replace the front panel controls on a traditional proper preamp I think it's doing enough, and it should focus on doing that really well. They look too have that covered.Putting price aside: Anyone else think that would be a wonderful remote to have for your system...if for instance it could be programmed to run your system?
Unquestionably yes.Putting price aside: Anyone else think that would be a wonderful remote to have for your system...if for instance it could be programmed to run your system?
Since I participated in this thread months ago, I have reconfigured an old tablet I had lying around to be a remote control. The big advantage of doing this is the keyboard. With my Samsung tablet, I can search for music on streaming services. If I had an old school remote like the above, I wouldn't be able to do any of that.
The disadvantage of the tablet is the ergonomics. I would prefer tactile buttons. I would love a volume knob. Having to unlock the tablet to change the volume is a pain.
Sadly there is nothing on the market that comes close to what I want it to do, so I will continue to use the tablet.
These remote/control trials and tribulations - that all of us have gone thru and putting up with - is like the proverbial cart-before-the-horse dealio.Putting price aside: Anyone else think that would be a wonderful remote to have for your system...if for instance it could be programmed to run your system?

Having this and having “control volume at playback only” set to no should allow the surface dial to control volume when using any source plugged into the DSP. I listen via Roon, vinyl, and CDs. It’s the solution I’ve been searching for, and the RooADI extension made me realize it might be possible.Hi out there.
@mglobe asked me in a private chat to support device volume control from Roon for MiniDsp devices. It seems that I will be able to offer that as I already did for RME ADI-2.
I like to find out if you guys might be interested in this or if you think it makes no sense at all. If I make it Volume and Input Select for nearly all MiniDsp devices can be controlled from Roon. For sure this will work work with my Surface Dial, Nuimo and SpaceMouse Roon Extensions too.
Please let me know.

However, it's a bit spendy and I'm not sure I would actually take the time to re-learn how I interact with the software I use to make full use of it.
More reasonable?:

My system is on my desk.It's not a great remote control if it has a cable running to it It was designed as a keyboard accessory with programmable macros. Great if you use Photoshop, Blender, CAD programs, etc. Not so useful if you want to control your system from your sofa.
