I also have the 649a V2 but my volume control doesn't react as badly. It is very sensative w/ the remote, but does require you to hold the button down a little longer than what is intuitive to move the control. At the very low end of the dial it changes volume more quickly. I'm guessing the way the pot's resistance is calibrated it makes uicker adjustments to about 9:00 o'clock and slower after that. I am using 87 db efficiency speakers.
As far as R1g's comments on the quality of sound, and would say it is way above average for the price. It has air and PRaT that matched older Linn gear. The integrated amp that was better sonically in my system was the YBA Design. Its volume control was digital and was very percise but very slow in making adjustments. But it's display was pitaful.
