    Why do so few headphone amp manufacturers employ relay-based volume control w/ IR remote?

    [I originally posted this in the "Headphone Amps (full size)" forum but it's probably more appropriate here]   Other than Audio-gd and a few very high end headphone amp makers, emplyment of this not terribly complicated technology seems to be extremely rare.   Why so?   It woud seem to me...

    Why do so few headphone amps employ relay-based volume control w/ IR remote?

    Other than Audio-gd and a few very high end headphone amp makers, emplyment of this not terribly complicated technology seems to be extremely rare.   Why so?   It woud seem to me that the huge added convenience of remote volume control combined with the absence of negatives such as sound...

    Looking for opinions re. a true end game single-disc CD player/DAC

    Hi all,   I'm strongly considering entering the market for a high-end CD player to replace my Audiolab 8200  which has malfunctioned intermittently pretty much as long as I've had it.     Features I require:   High reliability and build quality Balanced design topology w/ XLR outputs...

    Soundstage Width and Cross-feed: Some Observations

    I've had the opportunity for the past 4 months to experiment with the addition of cross-feed to my headphone rig (see my signature).  In my case it's a custom designed 6 level balanced cross-feeder.  I'm extremely pleased with this major enhancement to my listening experience and I find several...

    External (stand-alone) Cross-feed: Does such a product exist? [Not a DIY'er]

    I know Meier Audio sold the Corda Cross-1 a number of years ago but it seems to be long out of production, just an occasional used one appearing on the market from time to time.   I know there are DIY versions of this available but I can't find any commercially sold external cross-feed...

    Is the Audio-gd NFB-6 the least liked Audio-gd product?

    Or is it just poorly marketed?   I use one of these to drive my HE-500 and thoroughly love everything about the little rascal.  For those who already own a high quality DAC/source as I do, this powerful integrated HP amp seems to me to be ideal, at least for a fairly easy to drive planar...

    Koss ESP-950 vs. HiFiMan HE-500 for Classical music

    I own the HE-500 but was intrigued reading the thread about the Koss electrostatic HP as to its suitability for listening to acoustic music, especially classical.  The HE-500 seems a perfect fit for this kind of music.   Any opinions?

    Corda Jazz or Lake People G103-S for HiFiMan HE-500 phones?

    I've been stewing over the question of which of these two highly rated amps is the best fit with my new HE-500's.  The Lake People G103-S is about $90 cheaper than the Corda Jazz but the latter has some interesting features like the crossfeed filter and active balanced ground.  More important is...
