I agree that remote options becomes more of an issue than a nicety when you have a coffee table, a dog and possibly small children standing between you and the gear rack and your volume knob, as opposed to just reaching your arm out. Now That I think about it more there is the remote consideration, There is the Size of the products and the use of wall warts will take up to much room on those expensive power centers. So now they all should have internal power supplies.
My opinion is if you look at most gear the preamp does a a lot of the control. Volume and Source switching etc. For Analog switching schiit really just needs a bigger sys. But the Dacs do the digital switching so you are half way there. It would be almost pointless to redesign all the dacs at this point. But my pie in the sky big sys which has analog inputs and outputs but also has USB, Optical and Coax switching Built in. All your digital sources do not plug into the DAC but the Big Sys. Then By Some magic it would then it would then pass a clean digital signal via Only one cable, coax for example to the Dac. Then analog out from DAC back to the apple pie sys. No Need to Switch the inputs on the dac anymore, So your volume control, analog and digital switching and maybe even a built in wyrd in one box.It is now easy to control your schitty world from your couch or bean bag chair. Then you have a Product that will work for practically the whole line and possibly even play well with other non schiit dacs.
Excuse me now, Need coffee. If this makes no sense it is because I started dreaming obviously and forgot to make coffee.
