APOX GUYS WHERE ARE YOU???
Ok, Apox is a nice piece of electronic.
I've a apox 1- IS1 -IR1 setup, and I'm living with this since a few months. Everithing is working except the volume regulation.
I 've some problems with it that I myself can't solve, so if anybody can give me an helping hand.........
I've started with a custom resistor setup designed after the Apox worksheet and I' ve been not able to have a monotonic behaviour of the volume itself. I mean that while raising the volume level I've some increase-decrease jumps at the output. Nobody in the calculation sheet was highlighting this possibility.
Looking at the posts, seems that Peter Daniel found some similar problems in the past, solved by using a well defined resistor setup.
So far I decided to move to a supposedly proven resistor setup (5k as it's out of an aleph P) being recommendend by Harvardian, but still the damn problem is there, and being not able to program in C++, I've requested the assistance of the Apox Guys via their website.
Sent an email, I've discovered that the support link on their site is still at dipchip.com, not at apox.com, therefore my email was back a couple of days telling me that the recipient was unavailable.
Therefore yesterday i sent another email, both at dipchip personal address mail, and at support@apox.com.
No reply since this moment.
Where are the Apox fellows?
One more thing : I've seen somebody else (cannot remember who was the guy with this problem) was highlighting that in the menu the "last volume" command is not working as it is supposed to be. And so far no reply to that problem is available either on the forum and on the Apox site.
Therefore being the Apox guys unavailable, if anybody could give me a suggestion ( or better a modified software and the related resistor value for a 5K setup), I'll appreciate it very very much.
Conclusion:
Good product with a unsatisfactory support.
Bye and thanks to all the folks who will be so kind to help me.

JasonL,
Can't wait........the Apox started out as a good idea but became too convoluted for its own good.
Will it have direct source selection?
The Ayre K-5 pre. has an excellent user interface

mine will look like this from the pliniuse audio site but will have a fw other functions as my dac will be inside also and maybe xovers.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
