Reply to review by 'jonno41' on item 'Burson Audio Soloist 3X Grand Tourer'
Evidently the balance control only works through the pre amp outputs.Can I connect headphones directly to these pre amp outputs using adapters to take advantage of the balance control.- jonno41

The $200 asking price from Headamp is more than reasonable.I have no problem with that.It is the cost of shipping from here in NZ and back again.I didn`t realise just how complicated the job would be.I can live with the DACT and after taking in all your advice I will stick with the DACT unit.Thanks.- jonno41

I am very grateful for all your help and advice and I will stick with the DACT control as there is no guarantee that I will get the correct Alps unit.Too expensive to send back to Headamp as they want $200 to replace the unit plus shipping both ways from New Zealand.Thanks- jonno41

Thanks very much for your very useful and concise explanation of the difference between the Alps and the DACT volume controls.I can live with the DACT and as I don`t have the skills to change the unit myself I think I will stick with the DACT.I can live with it.- jonno41

Is there any difference in sound quality between the DACT volume control and the Alps RK27 volume control.I find the steps on the DACT to sometimes be either too loud or not quite loud enough between steps.Looking at maybe changing my DACT to Alps. Any information or advice appreciated.Thanks- jonno41
