Link - HiFi Remote

ink is a small box that connects to the RS-232 control jack on your preamplifier and puts a proper remote on every phone, tablet and computer in the house. This app does two things:

SET UP A NEW LINK
Open the app, and it finds your Link over Bluetooth, shows the Wi-Fi networks the Link can see, and joins it to your home network. One minute, no hotspot switching, no typing IP addresses. The Bluetooth link is used only for this step and only talks to the Link box itself.

CONTROL YOUR SYSTEM
After setup the app opens the Link remote on your local network:
• Volume with a firmware-enforced soft limit — the Link never sends an absolute volume, only single steps, and it caps them at the limit you set
• One-tap mute, input selection with your own input names
• Bass and treble, output 1/2 switching, meter and tube lights
• Now-playing with transport controls for an Eversolo streamer on the same network
• B&W DB1 subwoofer gain, presets and mute
• McIntosh MEN220 room-correction mode and voicing
• Two preamplifiers on one Link, each with its own tab

Everything stays on your home network. There is no account, no cloud service and no tracking. The app itself never contacts the internet.
