I have the original Micro Stack (DAC and Micro Amp), but it doesn't have a pre-out. Which gain setting should I use (high/low/med), and how do I know I'm not damaging anything by turning up the volume knob?

Probably the "med" setting. You won't be damaging anything if you don't hear any clipping. Do the active monitors have volume controls? (Whatcha get! $1300! Must be something pretty cool.)
