Emlin Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi Mitch. How were you controlling the volume (and mute) on these? The Kii has the Control which seems very convenient. Did you try the web browser "app" for this? If so, is it adequate? Link to comment
Emlin Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 2 hours ago, mitchco said: Emlin, I did try the web app volume control and worked fine - no audible issues that I was able to discern. However, I am using JRiver's internal 64bit digital volume control as I spend most of my time in JRiver selecting tunes I want to listen too. Mostly listen at reference level or background music level... so don't spend much time adjusting the volume. My wife liked the Kii Controller, but I found I never used it. Old habits die hard... Thanks for getting back to me, but I was not so much concerned about the quality of the web app volume control, but more its usability. As the 8Cs don't have a USB input to connect a PC running JRiver (or whatever), it looks like another (expensive) box with remote control would be necessary for my needs if the app isn't up to it (as I've heard elsewhere). As good as these things seem to be, the lack of a decent interface in a domestic environment could be their Achilles heel, it seems. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks. Link to comment
Emlin Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 There's a review of the THREEs+BXT here: https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?p=935959 I get the general impression that he quite liked them! Confused 1 Link to comment

I am hoping that Martijn @mensink can drop by and comment on the roadmap for the user interface. I know he was on his way to Beijing, so maybe a bit before he can comment... @Em2016 Thanks! Good question. Yes, I understand Roon integration is being developed, but I am hoping like above, Martijn can join the conversation and comment on the streaming roadmap... Hi Mitch, do you know if Martijn @mensink is going to get back to us or not? Link to comment

But it's taken too long now. I'll try to reply to one post at a time! Mitch, I've already thanked you for your wonderful review of the 8c's in private, but here too I'd like to express my gratitude for such an incredibly in-depth expert review! Still reading up on all the references . I'll be back! Cheers, Martijn Where are you Martijn, he who is so concerned about our simple questions? You have time over on Gearslutz to diss the Kiis (ineffectually), but none to reply here! Link to comment
