Snag one of the Gen 1 versions that is sure to hit the f/s soon then up the modules.

Yes sir.

Justin, no worries dude. You do plenty for us and costs aren't controllable. The best comes at a price so you pay to play.

I made a change and now instead of the GS-X mk2 with the Alpha 21mm potentiometer and DACT stepped attenuator being the same price, the Alpha 21mm pot option is now $200 less.  hope that helps

I opted for the Alpha 21mm potentiometer with my GS-Xmk2, but because my source has an attenuator built in which allows me to alter the volume by it's remote control, I have both the GS-X's and BHSE's volume knob on full. So now if I want to increase or decrease the volume I just use my sources remote.
Doing this makes it so I don't have to have my amps volume knob at arms length, which is great for me 'cause I've only short arms.

^ I've been running my amp (V200) this way and it makes a big difference in the sound quality.  Some people say it's because of the crappy attenuator in the v200 . . . but for whatever reason it sounds fabulous.
 
PS Nice photo !!!

Got an ETA on the modules order? Do I just follow the instruction from the original email?

 

[justin w.]

i have the modules in stock if that's what you're asking -- yes

So does this mean you're using digital volume control over the analog volume control?   If this is the case, not sure it's the best choice.  Analog volume control is alway better than digital volume control.

Dude...its a K-01??!!

Your point is what?  I'll let the experts talk...

When is digital volume better than analog volume?

When the volume is being handled in bits higher than your signal it is fine.

I'll stick with analog V control - thanks...

Continue to be ignorant of what is available then.

Then that's your own personal choice. Saying that analog volume is always better than digital one is just pure misleading. A well designed relay-based volume has accuracy that hardly any analog pot could match. Even the internal volume control of the ES9018 is excellent.

Ignorant?  I would go as far to say I'm way more knowledgeable of what's available then you are.  By a few miles..
