DAC/Amp/Audio Interface with dedicated mute volume button or fuction.

[hoover max promodel60]

Hi All.
Recently i begun to dive deeper into the audio rabit hole.
So i'm in the phase where i'm searching for a DAC/AMP or an audio interface that has a dedicated mute button for volume.
It seems to me that it's a really simple feature, yet again, most of the budget options i'm looking at (150-200$) have maybe a mute mic button, but not a mute headphones/source button.
I tried to look even at higher end options but no luck either.
Is it something so hard to implement on a audio interface or a DAC/AMP or am i not searching good enough?

Power, volume (levels from 0-99) and input buttons would be the most utilized. FN will blank the screen, and the mute button works as expected; the display will show a blinking volume number to remind you of mute being on.

Pioneer U-05 have mute button on remote, for example.
Audio interfaces usually don't have mute buttons, it's more hi-fi option.

Ever thought of just turning the volume knob all the way down?
(It's what others do)
