I would find it very convenient to have a control program -- similar to the iOS app -- to turn the amp on and off, select an input source, set volume, etc. directly from a Mac or PC.
Ideally this could be integrated with AIR.
I agree. I would love to have a desktop application from which you can control everything, including configuration and firmware updates, and view the system status info we toggle through using the remote. This could replace the AIR program and allow you to upload/download info to the online database, as needed or for backup.
Even better to have it html5 based as WebApp directly running on the devialet.
