I have absolutely no objections to digital volume controls, if done correctly.... Some of the best gear that I've listened to (like the wadia cd players) solely employs digital volume controls.... what I do not propose is the idea of having 15 different boxes to cater for all the different digital needs. I don't like the idea of having to run a three day course to my family explaining how to turn on the hi-fi equipment.... and then the next two days covers how to switch sources..... I have a good friend that's a former professional sound engineer, working with The cure and Dire Straits.... He's been working for a long while with his home audio gear... Right now he's got a Behringer Pro DCX2496.... The idea is that this stuff really works, but the family can't really use the Hi-Fi rig because it's getting way too complicated and not aimed at domestic usage. What we need is simplicity and stuff that's easy to use and with flexibility. Adding a bunch of different boxes where you need to press 4 switches to change the source is not what the spouse really needs. I'm in for fantastic quality with simplicity !
