  1. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I suppose I should have thought the DAC choice through a little more carefully; live and learn. The Beolab's don't have an easily controllable volume control so I'll try to return my DAC III and look at a different unit. Otherwise, I'm sensing a new pre-amp purchase may be on the horizon. Mike.
  2. Thanks Chris...by the way the site is a great source of info. Yes, remote control is a must. I did try the iTunes volume control but it lowest setting is still really, really loud. If I slide the iTunes volume slider all the way to the left it mutes, if I then just nudge it to the right its way loud....and if I keep sliding it to the right it gets louder and louder (of course). Bummer, I'd hate to have to abandon the external DAC. Mike.
  3. I've recently upgraded my modest music server with the addition of a PS Audio DAC III. My system now consists of an iMac connected to the DAC via USB and then I've connected my B&O Beolab 3 speakers to the DAC. The Beolabs are powered speakers and connect to the DAC's RCA jacks. Prior to the introduction of the DAC I would control the volume going out of the iMac using it's volume control but now that I have introduced the USB DAC, the iMac volume control has no affect. Any ideas on how to correct without having to introduce a pre-amp into my system? Using Apple's Front Row with the nice little remote to flip through 600 CD's ripped in Lossless is amazing!! It's so nice to ditch my separate audio components I'd hate to have to bring a remote controled pre-amp back into the equation. Thanks, Mike.
