Hey guys,
I've been reading about this for days and I'm getting sick of it.
Here's what I need. A dac and headphone amp combo (or a separate dac and headphone amp) that has optical input and a remote, I want this to listen to my headphones (64ohm) with my TV. I thought this will be easy but like 4-5 days later, I found MX3, DX3 pro, SMSL AD18, of these 3, I have no use for all the functionality that AD18 and MX3 have (although BT would be nice if it could be turned off, otherwise it's a nightmare as I've read on this forum and the ability to use powered speakers with so rca out would be useful) and I'm terrified of the DX3 pro after reading about 30 pages of people having nightmares with it and it costs a lot of money for what I want. The MX3 has better head amp and cheaper than the AD18 that's the reason for the title.
I'd like to use a modi + magni or atom (even though I'm in EU and everything from US would cost 30-40% more) or I'd bet even an SMSL M3 would be enough for me but why does nothing else have remotes ? I mean nothing below 250$, I don't wanna pay that much simply to be able to control volume, it's ridiculous even to say it.
Is there any other way to control remote without spending a bunch of money?
