CD Transport remote affects Rossini DAC

[PAR (Pete)]

@naperaudio

Using the CD remote is a must as the power button on the remote is the only way to “wake up” the transport (there is no front panel power button). Unfortunately, every time I use the remote power button it turns the Rossini On & Off.

I assume that you mean it is switching Rossini on from “sleep” not off. If so it may be because the Jay’s CD Transport is generating a WOL signal. See this thread:

Rossini DAC accidentally switching on

I have a Rossini APEX DAC with Rossini Clock and Scarlatti transport, and these are usually left on standby. Rossini s/n RSD51932, Front & Control board v2.10, Net board v1.4.4 (523) It is connected via an ethernet switch to my home network. In the next room I have a TV and Humax Aura video recorder also connected via the same ethernet switch. When the recorder starts a recording it switches on the Rossini completely unintended, and I can only prevent this by disconnecting the Ethernet cab…

Also other buttons on the remote will occasionally change a setting on the Rossini.

This should not happen and implies that Jay’s have used codes that are similar to those of dCS. That is an issue with Jay’s not dCS ( the latter having been around for many more decades).

In passing I will remark that ideally a CD transport requires a wordclock input for optimum use with a dCS DAC. Reading their website the Jay’s does not have this or has a 10mHz master clock, depending on model. This does not have the same function and cannot synchronise the two. Maybe it isn’t the best transport for you?
