Pathetic range of Topping remote

@jeffrey125 

I deleted my earlier post as some may have been offended by my use of "cheap". I meant economical or entry level.

There's trend going on that some words are more harsh then the others. For example you can't say "short" to a person -- you need to say "vertically challenged".

That's how stupidity becomes part of language.

Aside from SQ, Topping's (even the higher end model like D90 variation) menu and operation is primitive / inconvenient and the remote is notorious.  One needs to point directly to the unit within, say, 6-7 ft in order to activate it.  Almost all the models prior to E70 Velvet sound analytical and flat without much SS depth. I had its entry-level models E30 and E50 but sold / return them both.  I also return E70 Velvet because of its poor remote control.

I see one SMSL advertising the remote works over 9 meters.  I gather than means they understand the problem and choose poor performance on other products.

Try this Universal remote.  It’s only 9 bucks and you can return it.  I’ve got two Universal remotes and their signal is very strong.  They also last forever.
