SPL Diamond DAC - no remote control

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/

Listen to it unbiased toward no remote and I bet you end up keeping it

It’s not even so much me as it is my wife. This system is in the living room and it’s hard enough to explain that she can’t control the sound from the app and has to use a remote. Walking up to the unit from one end to the other of a rather large room is a non-starter.
