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.

Pathetic range of Topping remote
On one of my systems I have a Topping DX3pro+. The remote seems to have about a 6 foot range which makes it just about useless. I have seen comments this is sop for topping. How does SMSL and RME do in this regard?
Yes, I can do repeaters etc. Shouldn't have to. Yes the batteries are new. I was considering a Do300 for a couple of features in this system. RME probably overkill but maybe for a different sys.

@soix, great recommend, but the mfrs’ names would drive spouse (and self) beyond distraction.... She’s already of the opin that remotes are some sort of plot to foment the loss of control over household objects....and I really can’t argue with that, even if an overt overstatement... Case in point: 3 remotes; one for the flat screen, a 2nd for the DirecTV box, and the 3rd for the mini-fi audio that supplements the screens’ lame speakers... As bad a ritual as finding, the prep of an LP for play, playing it, repeat for B side, restore to sleeve and stashing... And haven’t even mentioned ’lighting up’ the kit to play either through it...which is why beloved sig other wants her own ’plug n play’, a novel novelette unto itself.... Reality: "Who dealt this mess, anyway?!" *L* J |
I had not thought about a universal. Kluge overkill just for volume, but it would say if it is the remote or the receiver that is week. I wonder if I have an old one somewhere. Yup, found my old Sofa Baton. I also live the remote mess in my HT. Sony TV, Anthem AVR, Panasonic BD, and mouse and keyboard on the PC. At least I dumped the STB. Sony will never play with Panasonic. Arrogance. The Sony remote will talk to the Anthem for volume via CEC over the HDMI, but only controls the volume in a small range, so I constantly still need the Anthem remote. I had things working on the Logitech remote ( s) but they all failed in about a year and they dropped them. Sofa Baton was close, but not there. The ultra high price, UR etc, with controllers, subscriptions and dealer only config game I am not playing. Yea a mess. Companies think they are forcing you to buy all their brand but we don;t. Instead, we just get mad at the brands. CEC was supposed to help but it too is an unregulated incompatible mess. The entire HDMI world is a just plain stupid cluster f..... Got me thinking. I moved everything to the TV using the AVR just as the amp. Maybe with the Sony ( I had a Visio) and no longer a STB, I can get the Anthem to do everything. Naw, it won't know how to switch to the tuner for OTA. |
