Hi, I just purchased a HRT Music Streamer and was wondering how I could get a physical volume control? I do not know what to get as I am afraid of degrading the sound quality. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated

It's meant to be paired with another device, usually an amplifier.  Your not supposed to listen to it straight out of the RCAs.

 

The HRT Headstreamer may have been better if you just want to listen straight from the device as it has volume control, but it's still not physical.

Just control the sound from the computer.  Introducing any kind of volume control is going to be messy unless it's done right, and right will be expensive - better to either just control sound from the computer digitally or buy a decent amp to go with it.

I don't think I need an amp. I am pairing these with Active Monitors, to be specific, krk R6s. But yeah, doing it right is going to be expensive so oh well.
