'BT' being British Telecom, a telecoms and internet provider in the UK, rather then Bluetooth.

Yup, so should work fine using an RCA to XLR cable. Obviously not balanced but absolutely fine for short runs, and work with the Genelecs from the digital coax outputs of other sources.

Digital coax to the Genelecs.

Hi Keith, The first set of A6 firmwares came with a 15 step digital control (which went from loud to very loud in large steps) so was pretty unusable. This was then replaced with a 100 step control that seemed to remain muted up to about -55dB, and then had the same stepped control with the...

Yes, there is another reason that GLM volume control isn't a great solution for me, and that is that I use the digital inputs on my Genelecs for stereo from my A6, and then their analogue inputs for from an AVR for home cinema, which the speakers will automatically switch between. GLM changes...

I use the A6's digital coax straight into my Genelecs and this currently works OK, but the digital volume control on the A6 needs fixing as at low levels it is very noisy. One way around this is to set the A6 to fixed output and use GLM to control the volume, but I don't want tot have to run a...

I use the digital coax to some active speakers, and the good news is that the A6 now achieves smooth volume control across the full range without any sudden jumps or silences, but the bad news is that the implementation still needs work as there remains a constant hiss that gets worse at low...

As reported in the Zidoo forum, it looks like its not fully baked, as the long-promised (was going to be released back in April) digital volume control is still vey broken. The volume display now shows a range of -100dB to 0 rather than 15 steps, but between -100 to -55 is completely silent...

I think that each software development team focuses on a specific SoC, so the team working on the UHD8000 isn't the same as the team working on the A6. It would be good if 'Soon' was soon.

@mirror88 Is this update still 'Soon'?

Not that 'soon' then it seems.

I don't think that you can turn it on from the app when it has been completely shut down, and that this can only be done via the IR remote.

Currently the A6 has a very basic 15 step digital volume control, going from 1 - loud to 15 - deafening. Most people won't need to use this as they will use the analogue outputs, but if you have active speakers with digital inputs then being able to attenuate the digital output volume from the...

That is great news @mirror88, can you share any information on expected release dates?

Also keen to know when we might expect the previously promised digital volume control.
