Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote?

After much research and searching, I was pleased to purchase and receive the Cambridge CXC transport. As some mentioned, the CXC remote is ungainly, crammed with buttons for other products I don't intend to purchase.

Does anyone have a lead on a small, programmable remote — something the size of a Roku remote? This makes much more sense. Having input buttons for specific tracks would be nice, too. (Cannot *believe* they left those off. FFS.)

Hopefully any answers might also help folks with other products who, like me, hate their remote.

@mesch Great to hear! My Atoll integrated has the same issue with their remote...

It's funny how technology's ideology is always toward conglomeration. As if we all wanted a remote as all-encompassing as our corporations and that we would be participating in vertical integration (preamp, amp, cd player, etc.). Not really how we roll.

Well the Cambridge remote controls three devices. A cost savings for production of the remote, however I wonder with the purchase of all three devices, one ends up with three identical remotes. I guess one could lose one, break one, and still use one. :-)

They sent me the wrong remote and would not exchange it.  They sent me a remote for a home theatre system.  None of the buttons resemble anything on a CD transport so I hope you didn’t buy it.

Has anyone complained to Cambridge?  I just might.
