This has been sitting in my Amazon wish list for well over a year, since I saw t mentioned here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B096KLDMCV...H892MZHZ&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

That's pure ORT porn!

When your kid turns it all the way up and you don't know...that's when volume indication is important.

Modi size means it's most likely to be used with Rekkr, so the risk of blowing things up isn't too great. But as I type I realize you have to plan for the worst case, someone using this to control a Tyr/Klipschorn combo. No knob, LED volume indication? Mid sized unit, with 2 inputs and a motorized pot, gives that passive saga that some (me) have indicated they would like? I dunno. Fun to think about though.

Edit-never mind the Saga thing, that was when we were talking about a balanced mid size option.

I don't remember, were gaps between tracks "hard coded" in early CDs? Would the index markers serve to allow gapless playback of tracks with several sections? I admit to hardly ever using the feature. I am glad Goldberg Variations has been separated into separate tracks.

With audio on a Red Book CD player, playback was always gapless, and digital silence wasn't automatically added, that interrupted the flow of live content. Plus, on live recordings, PQ codes were typically only assigned to the track starts. But, I have seen masters, where an end ID was set, once the music faded. That placed hall noise, and the shuffling of the crowd sounds, in the pause area, so if you skipped tracks, that content was left out during playback.

Fantastic product. Never really thought of stripping it down this far!

This is a $99-ish product from us if done in a Modi-sized box. Worth doing?

Imagine one of these with a Modi and a Rekkr. How cute would that be?

What if there was a single led that went from off to green to amber to red; red meaning "your kid turned this up all the way"?

I've never been particularly bothered by those infinitely spinning knobs found on receivers or surround processors. Wouldn't mind it in a product like this.

Yes, it would pair well with Rekr. Especially since Saga is being discontinued

Or 5 white LEDs in a row (like the input select on a Freya)

x x x x x <-- silence
o x x x x <-- chill
o o o x x <-- jammin
o o o o o <-- RUN!

The catch is volume indication. We could do old-skool Freya/Saga (with a non-motorized pot), but it can be overridden by the remote control. Motorized pots are too large to be viable in that size, bigger size means it's getting too expensive.

Or, no knob? Perhaps an LED indicating volume > 0

Or even a single white led that becomes progressively more bright! The BF 2/64 in NOS mode seems to have a pretty good range of brightness while the led is "breathing".

There are some 10-segment LED bars that are affordable. That, plus a custom 3D printed light pipe might not be bad. But it would be green or red...LOL.

@Jason Stoddard, I'm truly speechless. I had no idea you'd actually consider my idea as worthwhile for Schiit. Thank you!

You know I'd think it's a good idea. I'm a teensy bit biased, though.
