Wish there was a CSP3 with remote
03/19/23 at 06:50:27

I know Decware sells the ZTPRE with an option for a remote. Wondering if there would ever be consideration to make a remote control option for the CSP3? I’d be all over it if it existed I think…. Love the Rogue RP-7 I use, but not gonna lie, the remote control it has appeals to my laziness A LOT.

Wonder if it’s something anyone’s heard might be considered in the future for CSP3?

Yup, and hence the need for it to be an optional upgrade (or downgrade for the purists 😂). I’m sure the more practical reasons it isn’t there is that it would need more space to fit in an Alps volume control, remote control receiver, etc.

At that point it wouldn’t all fit into the CSP3’s current form factor.

This is it. No room at the inn for the remote parts. 99% sure the space limitation would be prohibitive.

My source and the ZTPRE have remotes. . . I use those, though rather infrequently. I generally play an entire cd and make most balance or volume changes by hand.

I didn’t have a remote for 25 years. It actually made me not turn on the stereo sometimes if I knew there were people around and I would have to make constant adjustments. I have one now and I will never own another preamp without one. I make volume adjustments often.
I am on the list for a csp3, which does not have one. I plan on using it for a bedside headphone rig. So not as concerned.

If you don't need the extra connectivity of the Switchbox, it is an expensive price to pay for merely remote capability though.

Sai, I hear you. It is painful to admit that I've grown lazy enough to tell Google to turn the lights on and off rather than getting up and walking 6 feet to the light switch. My Freya+ preamp with remote has been good enough until my Sarah 300B arrives. I may no longer need a preamp to make my source sound great, but if I do my plan was to ultimately replace it with the ZTPre, but would definitely go with the CSP3 instead if it came with a remote.
