For those controlling their H701 through and Alpine deck, when you change the volume on the deck does the volume on the H701 controller change as well? It may be that none of you are using both as the controller wouldn't be necessary.

It's the lack of remote volume control on the H701 that is killing me right now. It seems clear that Alpine designed that unit to be the master volume control. Both with the PC using the SPDIF and now my old CD player using analog out you have to set the volume on the H701 fairly high so you can then control it with the PC or CD player. The problem is that at low volumes the noise floor is noticable. As far as I know there's no other way to remotely control the volume unless you buy an Alpine HU and they don't have any models that appeal to me. I may have to ditch the H701 for something else.

Have any of you guys seen any new devices from Alpine that can control the H701's volume?
