Mike - I'm a bit confused by this. You're not saying that the Cayin remote controls iTunes volume at the computer, are you? I'm guessing you mean there's attenuation in the iDac, and that the USB input from computer to it is best left at 100% volume like a line in. Can you shed any light?

Both of those things as options are fine, but a 1/4 jack is more flexible and some people would not want to have the digital input cable plugged into the front. Still, it looks like a great unit and if capable as a preamp for home use that is an amazing price.

Al - I "get" the front USB jack - makes it easy to walk up with a laptop and jack in. Would be nice if there were another USB in on back (perhaps switchable) for use from a stationary home computer. I do agree, though, that a 1/4" headphone jack would be better and more professional/higher end leaning.
Mike - will be anxious for the iDac - Cosecant comparo. If this is anywhere close, it is a screaming bargain.
