Decided to try this instead of trigger wires for subs and amps not in the AVR rack...kind of a poor man's smart home solution...

Oooh, I gotta get me one of those!

Yeah I use one similar to that for my subs and it works great .. without needing a login to use.
Put on on the christmas tree this year as well and my wife really liked it.

Years before Alexa & Siri were born I discovered the X10 remote control:

It's RF operated, works across multiple rooms, has dimmer functions & high current relay switchers. Receivers that can either be plug in or built into a light switch box for example. When I visited the X10 website today I see they also have a phone app if you don't want to use the multi-button remote pictured above. Reasonably priced esp when you can pick & choose what you want.

Can my Logitech Harmony Elite control them?

That's definitely a level up or two
Plus I like that it says "Pro" on it rather than Black and Decker. Doesn't really go with Oppo etc. LOL

Of course, as long as you sign up for the monthly subscription

My recently purchased Rotel RAP 1580MKii. Rotel calls it an integrated amp rather than an AVR because it does not include a tuner.

Not the best picture as the unit is in a wooden stereo cabinet behind an LG OLED 65" TV. I'm really liking the sound so far.

Hi hafquark! I was poking around on the RAP-1580MKii and was wondering if it might be the solution to some of the HDMI handshake issues folks have seen when passing ATMOS out from a PC via HDMI. I guess the million dollar question is: can you send ATMOS via the USB DAC input from a PC? If so, it would seem to eliminate HDMI as a point of failure in the chain. Anybody else ever play with the USB DAC on this unit or the RSP-1576MKII?

Thanks!
