Hello,

I just purchased a new SHD Studio as part of a larger studio setup. I am trying to have it startup automatically when power is switched on via an external power strip. However, it always seems to stay in standby mode until I manually press the volume knob. Is there any way for it to remember the last power on state and start up automatically or does this feature not exist?

I don't think the feature you want exists I'm afraid. The SHD Studio is more designed to be taken in and out of standby than repeatedly fully powered on and off I think.

From what I've read the SHD Studio seemed to be able to turn on by itself before the standby feature was implemented, perhaps MiniDSP can reintroduce this option in an update? This feature is quite critical to me as I am trying to power manage an entire studio with one master switch.

I think it's actually a difference between the original neo2 models and the newer neo3 model. I'd guess it's possible to change but I don't know. I can see it would be an option some would like.

You could post this idea here:

Seems there is already a suggestion for this feature: www.minidsp.com/forum/suggestion-box/193...-mode-on-mains-power.

Yes, this is true. I own the Studio neo2 and it turns on completely on power on.

Yes, I contacted MiniDSP directly and they have confirmed this is a hardware feature change between neo2 and neo3, and unfortunately they cannot reimplement the functionality in software. I wonder if I can find anyone willing to swap their neo2 board with my neo3...

Hello Raphael,
You have to swap the whole unit, the boards cannot be exchanged, I'm looking for a neo3 unit (to have the microsoft dial option working) and am willing to swap.
