thanks Tyll. My new active monitors are the Dynaudio MC 15 (consumer version of the pro BM5A-Compact) and they don't have a volume setting. I didn't realize that volume control in Windows doesn't affect the Micro DAC so I realized I need to use the Micro Amp as a volume control. The MSRP is $1299 which is indeed spendy, but hey, when have Dynaudio speakers ever come cheap?

Just wondering, is there any advantage to using the Preamp out on the newer Micro Amps compared to going out through the headphone jack?

Pics of course!






Unfortunately, I have some bad news. Because I bought these speakers and it comes with nice little stands, I won't be need those Headroom stands that I mentioned I would be ordering once they were released
