SPL Diamond DAC - no remote control


I was so excited about getting the new SPL Diamond DAC when I realized that unlike all their other units it does not have remote control capability. Their other units have some peculiarities that make them less than ideal for “consumer” level use, but this one takes the price. I just would really like to know what the thought process was when the conscious decision was made not to supply a pre-amplifier with remote control capabilities. 🤷‍♂️

My CJ preamp had no remote.  That thing sounded great so I guess you could say I “lived with it” but that wasn’t the case at all.  I loved that preamp , it sounded better than the remote controlled pre it replaced.   I hated the volume push button thing.   

Love SPL equipment and they are outstanding. None of their Preamps/Headphone Amps come with a remote. They have the ability to use an IR remote once you program the unit (very simple process). None the less your particular unit does not have this feature. My DAC is simply that a DAC, No lights or switches (LessLoss). This may have been a better fit? https://spl.audio/en/spl-produkt/director-mk2/
