You may be correct, as I am just getting educated in this area.
I have no experence with matching components, inpedance values,
dampening, etc. Almost sound like I could use a stepped atinuator
between the DAC and Amp. Do you have experience in this area?Well yeah, but my tastes and preferences may not be quite the same as yours.
Something you may want to try is a simple passive pre using a pair of the PEC hot molded carbon pots. If you don't mind separate left and right volume controls, you can get them for about $10 each from Digi-Key.
I've had good results with these and for some they've even bested some nice stepped attenuators.
