Also, is there a phase switch on the DAC-2 remote? 
Bel Canto S300 driving Gallo 3.1s
Something doesn't sound right. Try a different amp and see what happens. The Gallos may or may not pressurize your room, but they should be very loud with the Bel Canto at near maximum volume.

DAC-2 owners,How is the digital volume control? Has anyone decided to get rid of their preamp and using the digital volume in the DAC-2 instead? 
Usher cp 6311
The CP-6311 is not too difficult to drive. I drove a pair temporarily with a Peachtree Decco which has a 50 watt chip amp and it sounded great even at moderate levels. 50 class A watts should work just fine. 
Toddler-Friendly Budget Speakers?
Insomniac, I would also recommend the Usher CP-6311 as long as you're not worried about the finish getting messed up. The piano finish can show fingerprints. They are also tanks with a massive base that would be very difficult for a toddler to kno... 
Wyred Dacs--Thoughts?
Orangepotato - I too am wondering about the quality of the volume control on the DAC 2. I was thinking about replacing both my STP and PS Audio DL3 with a DAC-2 since all my sources are digital, and it would save space and less cables.  
Wyred Dacs--Thoughts?
Doesn't the new DAC-2 start shipping this week? Any one receive theirs yet? First impressions? Anyone with a DAC-1 plan on moving up to the DAC-2? I wonder if there will be some used DAC-1's on here because of the 15% restocking fee. 
Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good?

Magnum, do you know if the ht bypass input on the DAC 2 can be configured as an input for an analog source?

Import/rip audio cd's thru Winamp?
Yes, you're right. It is not freeware, but well worth the money if you plan on ripping a large collection. You can try it free for 21 days and make your own assessment. Rabbani asked for other options besides the free version of Winamp and I thou... 
Import/rip audio cd's thru Winamp?
I would recommend using dbpoweramp instead of EAC. Easier to use and the quality is just as good as EAC. Here is a guide to help set up EAC. http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=30959Here is a guide for dbpoweramphttp://www.dbpow... 
Squeeze Commander
I agree with Richard. I've been very happy with this app on my Droid. The developer has also provided updates which has improved the app considerably over the last few months. It also takes much less time to start up compared to the duet controlle... 
Oppo analog outputs
I've only heard the analog outs of the 83 and 83SE and the 83SE was superior. however, I had my 83 upgraded to SE status and was not able to compare the two back to back. Others have done blind testing with the 83 and 83SE and posted their finding...
