Hi,
The standard version with options is still available. See post:
Standard version 8-Channel DAC, AKD38 using ES9038PRO

Hello Acko! As initially stated in the AKC32 manual there was a plan for a DIY-friendly smartphone app remote.
It is still in progress and are you planning any other remote solutions to be available?

Asking because I don't have an rs-232 device in the setup and there is practically no other remote option available in the AKC controller.

The plan was a wifi interface add-on for the AKC32. This will enable easier remote control from many devices. Some progress was made but not fully developed for release yet. I will look into getting this sorted out asap.

Thanks, Acko! Looking forward to implementing any kind of remote control solution.
AKC seems to be the only controller which is able to operate in dual-mono setup, though lack of easy remote integration makes it a bit inconvenient to use.

Hi Acko!

Any news on the remote?

Thanks!

Doing tests already! Basic functions of this remote working but needs more work with the integration, pressing on

Hi Acko! Any news on the development of the remote?

 

[acko]

Also, in progress. Will time it with release of new DACs…

That is a very unfortunate decision, Acko.

I purchased the dac back in Jan 2018 and back then you announced an app to control it. It is being 4 years in development and never appeared.

There is no practical way to remotely control the dac at all.

I am really sorry for the delay. Some of the parts for wireless remote became obsolete by the time the design was ready to implement. Even App design tools changed. Now, there are new ones and these have different requirements. It is looking like a new DAC Controller for handling remote comms is needed. I will do a swap with the current one that you have later. Right now remote control is via wired comms to PC only. You can change most settings already this way… have you tried this?
