I have tried the Electra 1027 on my high end system, they were good, but not as great as my Jadis Orchestra speakers on my system.

Do you know that the MC15 has a volume control bulit in? I didn't see anything about this at Dynaudio's homepage, so I guess it does't have any. You say, I can also control the volume on the computer, is this mean that computer's volume control also works on the computer's optical digital output? My future system would be: Mac Mini connected to an LCD TV and to the internet, WD external HDD, some kind of a DAC which isn't necessary at the begining, because I can use the Mini's analog output at first with computer based volume control, and a Dyno MC15 speakers.

The article about these speakers says on this site: "I would really like to hear these connected to a laptop with an external DAC." If you connect the laptop to a DAC via optical cable, and the DAC to these speakers via RCA cables, which equipment does the volume control? Or do I need a preamp between the DAC and he speakers?
