miatadan Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi Is it possible to use Amarra software and control volume directly to dac using toslink fiber optic cable. Info on Amarra site seems to indicate that you can control volume to dac using fiber optic out from mac to dac itself. Can anyone here confirm this? thanks Dan Roy Link to comment
jtwrace Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Dan, I'm not exactly understanding what you're asking...if you want to know if you can control Amarra volume from a remote such as iphone / itouch, yes you can. Use Rowmote: http://www.rowmote.com/Rowmote/Rowmote.html W10 NUC i7 (Gen 10) > Roon (Audiolense FIR) > Motu UltraLite mk5 > (4) Hypex NCore NC502MP > JBL M2 Master Reference +4 subs Watch my Podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXMw_bZWBMtRWNJQfTJ38kA/videos Link to comment
emw Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 yes, I use Amarra's volume control, do not have an preamp and have a mac connected via Toslink to my DAC. If that is the kind of configuration and your question was related to this - yes works, ... but there are some issues you should watch, see my comments in the thread PV vs Amarra.

HiFiInsider Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 So does Amarra Mini take over iTunes volume controls? What if I want to use my pre-amp volume? Can I set Amarra to fixed output? I ordered the Mini, but it's not here yet so I can't try it. http://www.youtube.com/hifiguy528/videos Link to comment

f1eng Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 If you need/want to control volume in Amarra you need the full version IFAIK Frank[br]Mac mini, Amarra, Pure vinyl, Resolution Cantata, Metric Halo LIO-8, dCs P8i,DeVialet 800, Goldmund Mim 20/36+/22/29.4, Epilog 1&2[br]Reference Turntable Ortofon Jubilee pickup Link to comment
kaka Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 There is a volume control in mini now, what differentiates it from the full product is that it tops out at 24/96 and doesn't have EQ Source: Pink Faun Ultra - Chord DAVE Amps: VTV Purifi Speakers: Trenner and Friedel RA Cables : JCAT reference USB, Tellerium XLR, Kubula-Sosna Elation speaker Plus CEC TL 5 Cd transport - Blackcat Tron BNC - Chord DAVE Link to comment
HiFiInsider Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I am using the optical out from my MacBook to Amarra Mini. iTunes volume set to 0, Amarra volume is set to 100%. Volume on pre-amp is what I use to control the levels. Here is the Amarra Mini owner's manual in PDF. http://www.youtube.com/hifiguy528/videos Link to comment
