    Any way to get volume control with TV optical output?

    That will cost more than an integrated with remote which at this point seems to be the cheapest/easiest option, the power amp can sit in the cupboard till it's needed again.

    Any way to get volume control with TV optical output?

    Thanks, those are all decent options but ideally I'm looking for something that's not too expensive or else I may as well just buy an integrated amplifier with a remote. I forgot to mention the DAC has a volume control, the problem is I need a way to control the volume via a remote.

    Any way to get volume control with TV optical output?

    My TV can't change the volume if you select optical output, other than getting an AVR what other options are there that would allow me to control the volume via a remote? I have the TV connected via optical to a DAC and the outputs of that to a power amp.

    Any ideas on how to open/clean a seal pot/rotary encoder?

    Thanks, I'm assuming you first remove the pot from the board before drilling the rivets and cleaning?

    Any ideas on how to open/clean a seal pot/rotary encoder?

    At this point I want to first try cleaning the pot and see if that helps, anyone have any advice on what I can try? I have added some pics of the pot to the op. I think it might be a custom part because it's got unique spacings between the notched sections and Google doesn't bring anything up...

    Any ideas on how to open/clean a seal pot/rotary encoder?

    I have a notched rotary encoder on a piece of equipment that's used to change program types so it's controlling digital parameters and it's not changing correctly. The encoder is sealed, it's one of these new kind of plastic body pot. Is there any method to opening them to try cleaning them?

    Ibuprofen 400mg Tablets

    That is an incredible price difference, does anyone know if there is anything similar for Mybulen pain tablets? I prefer them over things like Myprodol because you can break them in half and only use just as much as is needed, but they are now hitting R85 for 30.

    Small vacuum tube integrated for desktop use

    Seems it has a few quirks, one being this: "As others have noted, it does click and shut down when it is not receiving sound input. My experience has only been through optical from a PC, but it is rather annoying to have it clicking on and off when you aren't listening to something." Have you...

    Credit card to cancel or not.

    Credit cards are easy, don't spend money that you don't have, or won't be getting. Only spend what you can settle in full on the last due date, ie use the banks money for the full 55 days interest free and then pay it all back on the latest due date before interest kicks in. It's handy and...

    Best Wireless IEM's for sport

    The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are awesome, noise cancelling and waterproof so sweat resistant. You can also pick them up secondhand but new and sealed for great prices because people get them free with phones and sell them. I have a pair and they sound remarkable. Only thing I changed was I'm...

    Amazon vs Takealot

    I'm sure they do but probably not strictly enforced by Amazon, technically no wireless equipment should be used in SA unless it's ICASA approved, ie has the little approval sticker on the box or case somwhere. Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk

    Spotify HIFI

    We fortunately pay less in SA than 1st world countries. We pay currently R59pm, the Us pays $9.99 so around R150 for the same thing. Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk
