When using the Dac and Amp together in balanced mode which volume control do you use?
I assume you defeat the one on the DAC by the rear switch and then use the pot on the amp?
In this case would the remote volume buttons drive the volume control on the Amp only?
Your assumption is correct.
The remote is the same between the two units - setting the DAC to "variable" allows remote operation, as does setting the amp to "remote". You obviously don't want to set them both for remote operation because they will both change each time you hit a button.
Honestly I haven't used "variable" on the DAC much since I've been using it mostly as a pure DAC or DAC/integrated headphone amp rather than as a pre-amp. I'll get around to that ASAP.
