So, to my point - having a 'ready to hand' volume/mute remote, while adding some mental task complexity, sure removes any concern about Windows/JRiver Slapping to Full gain risk. Probably the biggest 'gain' (hah) is for Movie Night, when I don't have to have the PC display up and have to mess with the trackball to adjust volume levels when one of the movie goers complains about 'too loud' or 'too soft'. tiny remote for volume changes, tho I can still do that via the trackball). ![]() So, while it's DEFINITELY an improvement of ' elapsed time to Mute' speed, it's offset a bit by 'choosing which to go for' - and more 'choice complexity' in everyday use (trackball for track change/selections vs. ![]() However, now I face (temporarily?) the dilemma of 'which remote (Mouse or Tiny remote) to dive for' when I need to change volume or select different tracks on JRiver!! Oh dear. I'd had the box of 'spare' canare xlr cables sitting up there for almost a year - can finally put them in storage!)Īnd yes, there are other ways to do this (or not), and my dac/preamp already has volume control but I just couldn't use it, so technically a bit off topic.Īnyway - yes, it works fine, and no, I can't really tell any huge difference in background noise or anything else, tho reconfiguring the Venu caused me to have to re-run the autoEQ function, so of course they 'sound better'. (Which involved switching the Venu360 bi-amp mixer/controller from AES fixed level inputs to Analog, so all 7.1 channels are now controllabe via the OktoD's tiny apple remote.
