Rogue Sphinx


I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on this guy but I just have one question. Does anyone know if this unit plays nice with a universal remote such as the stock Dish remote. I talked to the manufacture and they said that it works with learning remotes. How well is my question? If any one has any input based on experience that would be great.

Lindisfarne--well since I have a family I think it is rather impractical and annoying to have to use a second remote just to change the volume.

Donjr I am looking for direct user experience. I want to know how well it works. The Sphinx has had one issue as expressed by users and that was it's volume control was not that accurate. They have since upgraded the circuit board and rewrote some of the firmware for this. My question is how incremental are the volume steps when using a different remote.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I think I will have to contact the manufacturer by phone rather than email and see what more information I can get.
Donjr I noticed that you have a Hegel 200. I just recently sold a H100 in favor of my current Exposure 2010s2. The H100 had a very refined sound with lots of detail, Air, and tight bass. When you turned the volume up it seemed as though the higher frequencies just filled the air. I ended up preferring the 2010S2 because of its thicker midrange, and more attacking rhythmic sound...textured if there is such a way to describe it. Anyways I was thinking the Rogue Sphinx might be a different flavor and step sideways now that I see you preferred the H200 over your Cronus Magnum? My initial goal is to upgrade to the 3010S2 when a used one shows up on the market but for now the Sphinx was going to be the last stop along the way.
