Is this the right place for this sort of question? I have only used diy tubes before. I can get it to oscillate between mute/unmute by holding down a different arrow along with the same menu button for five seconds. This is the standard way to pair the apple remote to apple stuff and is shown in the link below in Chinese. Can anyone translate?

  The dac is similar to the previous version I have without the filters so far.
  
  The filters are a bit of a novelty that is wearing off. I think even those need some time in each one to smooth out. I love having a remote volume again for 6 months I have been watching mainly media center pc and having to use a mouse every time I wanted to adjust volume why I didn't get a media center remote escapes me. I wanted this dac so I could use the usb digital output.

  No offense but it's such an off the wall and very specific question that I'm not sure what forum would be best suited for your post.
  
  On a somewhat related note, my Apple Remote paired effortlessly with my Mytek Digital Stereo192-DSD DAC. The only thing I've tried on it is Volume Up/Down & Mute. But I normally leave the DAC Volume all the way up and use the integrated amp volume control instead.

    I don't have volume controls on my amps or preamp for that matter. I wanted a remote volume something for years now. I have tried all sorts of remote options. I have built moterised alps based. alps blue and black = garbage to different boards. I tried digit chip based only one sofar keeping an open mind on that tech. tried relays cheap nasty. I cant afford or justify the few hiend remote tvc`s out there. I am confident I could live with those. I have 2 resistive networks that I live with in different systems. A tech 600 ohm network that is hand wound nickel filament on bobbins in a switch. Amasing vintage find. And 2 vishay cermet trimmers for level set in this preamp. There not something you can use daily.
    I want to adjust level every few minutes or more often from my bed. I watch tv and listen to many different things on you tube constantly being assaulted by adds and such. I have used my pc for level but that is limiting on the digital outputs I can use. A good hi quality dac with volume is a nice thrill for me. I can use usb now.
    This one is good and getting better but it is dry like all the other opamp based dacs I have. I try the latest little Chinese kit dacs as they come out over the years. Its still not good as my multibit board with class A fet output. I think I need to buy another one of these boards.
    Like all my gear it is modular it has a off board power supply so for 100$ I can get another board and try to hack in some trans and a tube output.
    I quite playing with tubes and dac years ago when I blew 2 pcm1702 chips in one go back when they where dear with one hot plug. I have a lot of trans now so perhaps that could give me a better chance and boards are cheap and plentiful. Its time to get serious again. I never forget how good my tube output was on my assemblage dac. It is time to banish the last silicon from my amplification. Come to think of it I do not have a resister directly in my signal path other then this dac and the vishay trimmers. Resisters always dry up my sound to my ears. I can tolerate trans I know some cant stand them.
    I am working on a you tube account I am doing some videos of my projects . This is featured stay tuned. If your bored you tube works for me when I want to waste time ha ha
