Oppo 105D digital volume question

Want to try running the Ayre Codex DAC, balanced, directly into the PS Audio S300 amp. The Ayre has no remote, so I would like to use the Oppo digital volume control. It doesn't seem to change the volume when hooked to the Ayre. Am I missing some menu setting to make this possible?

Thanks,

@designsfx but if you use the Codex as a DAC (rather than a headphone amp) doesnt it negates the volume feature?

Oh, And I retract my earlier statement that the ayre didn’t have a potentiometer

Yeah, I also kinda doubt the Oppo’s volume control can be used thru its digital output.  But you might be able to use this high-quality remote volume control that’s designed to be very transparent.  Best of luck

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately, the Oppo doesn't control volume on the digital out. The Ayre does it, but no remote control. Oh well. I can have remote using the Sonic Euphoria passive line stage in single ended mode. 

Thanks again,
