Controlling Volume of AUNE Mini DAC

[thorpef1]

Hi Guys.

I just grabbed an AUNE mini USB DAC off the forums and the TF10's sound amazing off them.

Two questions that i have though:

1. I have a media centre remote control for my PC and the volume control now does nothing since the Aune always has the volume at max. Is there a way i can change this so that i still can control the volume going to the Aune or is there a program that will allow me to do this?

2. I have the Aune aswell as all my other computer gear (PC, monitors, amp, lamp etc) all plugged into a Surge Protector. When i turn my lamp on/off the dac just stops. It doesnt turn off but it stops playing music, if i skip a song it will start going again.. Any ideas here? (It has been upgraded to a 15V 2A power supply)

My configuration is as follows:

FLAC > Aune Mini USB > Denon DRA375RD > Wharfedale Diamond 9.5

FLAC > Aune Mini USB > Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10

Thanks for your help,

Luke

Ideally (for best sound quality), volume control should be done at the AUNE, not the PC. What media player are you using? Is it the AUNE MKII SE? Congrats, you scored a pearler of a headphone AMP/DAC, and pne of the best kept secrets in high performance gear at a bargain basement price.

I use windows media player for mp3's, foobar for FLACs and VLC for my movies.

Since I don't have a remote for my amp this worked great for when I was watching movies in my bed as I could control the volume without having to get up.

I was just checking to see if I could find a way with what I currently have otherwise I will go out and buy a Logitech harmony for the denon (but that still doesn't fix the issue when I have my earphones plugged into the Aune)

Does anyone have any idea about the AUNE switching off when i turn my lamp on?
