I am thinking upgrading my Speaker amplifier setup.
Currently i use Objective2+ODAC with it's Line-Out to a Pioneer receiver, which feeds my 4ohm speakers.
The line-out is always at 100% volume regardless of the HP amp settings.
The Volume control is done by the receiver and that is how i like it.
With the thinking to the future i want to build something that will last me the next 10 years, as the current system did.
I've been looking at many power amplifiers that have been reviewed that have cutting edge performance, like Topping LA90, NC or Purifi based amps like HPA-S400ET.
The main issue with these kinds of amps is that they do not have remote control for volume/power.
So the standard output from a DAC will blow up my speakers unless i precisely control the volume from my PC(which i try to avoid).
Are there any relatively cheap devices that could control(attenuate) an XLR or RCA signal with a remote control, and a cherry on top would be a Remote trigger functionality to turn on/off the Power amps?
The control requirements are simple:
Power on/off
Mute(nice to have)
Volume Up/Down.
The impact on sound quality should also be minimal.
Having a DAC(topping d90 or similar) do that is not ideal since i want to have completely independent volume controls for my speakers and headphones.
