Dac/amp with remote for Grado RS1x?

[Jojo01]

Hello,

I'd like to buy a headphone dac/amp that comes with a remote control for setting the volume. This thread is not about the pros and cons of a remote control feature, which is discussed repeatedly. One dac/amp, that will work well with the Grado RS1x. I used to listen with the ifi Zen one signature dac and the Zen can signature. Is there a device with a remote available, that you would recommend for the Grado headhpone?

Thank you
Jojo

The SMSL C200 Pro is a good one if you need a compact unit. I have one and it's got plenty of power, low noise floor for IEMs, and a remote. It's basically a DL100 with smaller form factor.

Thank you dunring - the ifi dac comes with 4 gain settings, the SMSL has no gain options, as far as I can see. Would the SMSL provide an optimal output signal for the 32 ohm Grados?

I did test the SMSL C200 Pro with the RS1x and other headphones. Nothing to complain concerning the build qualitity, but the sound was just liveless and had a much to unnatural taste. So I gave it back to the dealer.

The search has an end, I'm very happy now with the ifi NEO IDSD 2.
