I'm only planning on making/shipping fully assembled docks -- keeps life simpler for me, and makes the packaging really easy -- an assembled rectangular shape is easier to package than a bunch of parts.

The dock will be glued together, but the bottom panel will only be held by four screws, to permit partial disassembly for access to the fan, wiring, etc..

Does anyone out there know off-hand whether the "remote amplifier on/off" signal is directly controllable by software? Or is it hardwired to standby/non-standby, like the throbbing LED is (sort of)?

If we can control it directly, then fan on/off could become a software thing, allowing stuff like temperature triggering, or permanently off, or ..

Cheers
