Hi

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why the cumbersome use of an internet webpage?  Why can't Bryston just develop an app for control of the pre-amp.   The current system seems very complicated compared to what a straightforward app would be.  Or, is the problem that the BR 20 does not have bluetooth or wireless connectivity that would allow an app to work directly from a phone or tablet?

Also, my new BR 20 is on the way.   I see that I need a separate control device (pad or phone) to use the digital aspects.   I have seen lots of posts in this thread that apple devices do not work with Manic Moose?  I was going to get an ipad but do I need an android device?  All of my computers are apple.     My only non-apple device is my phone, which is a Samsung.   Would I be good using my phone?

Just wondering.

And thanks for any advice.  I am new to high end digital streaming so need to get up to speed on the basics.

I can't speak to IOS as I don't use Apple products, but your Android phone will work fine.  A tablet would be better because of the larger screen of course.

I too would much prefer a bluetooth app, but MM works well enough.  I do find that it sometimes tells me it can't connect when I know it can (because I have web connectivity) and I have to re-type the URL in the address bar to get it to locate my BDA, sometimes more than once.  That's annoying, but once it communicates with the BDA it works fine.  I will say that there are a lot of setup items that are not well explained or documented, and there are a lot of aspects that are not intuitive.  I hope the new version-- Naughty Narwhal? -- will be better.

I have an M1 iPad Pro, an iPhone and three MacBook Pros. These are all Apple products that work fine on my BDP3/BDA3.

Apple stuff will manage Manic Moose, both via Roon, and the Manic Moose platform.

Where are you having trouble.  Do you use Roon? or another platform?

Got a question...

In MM (latest version), when I first set up my BDA-3.14 and configured MM, there was an option under "Audio Devices" setup screen to turn on/off volume control.  I don't recall how I set that, but I think I set it up as off, or disable.  Every time I go back into that screen now, I no longer see that setting at all.  Here's a screenshot:





Why do I not see the setting anymore?  There is only the startup volume, no ability to enable or disable volume control.
