Default Digitally controlled relay volume regulator

This is something that we (Peter Daniel and I) built – digital potentiometer with fully analog signal path. What's most important – input impedance is constant (excluding fist three steps) just like in normal pot.

Features:
- attenuation from -56.8 to 0dB
- completely passive signal path
- constant input impedance (set by resistor network: 10k, 20k, 50k, …)
- great display (used in Mark Levinson products)
- control type: infrared remote, buttons, encoders
- 6 input selector (additional mute output and on/off relay) connector

I will calculate the cost, prepare the BOM list and let you know.

And for multichannel connection - yes, this is possible. As you can see there are two connectors that easily drive 4 or 6 channels simultaneously (maybe even 8 with darlington transistors).
