How can I solve my preamp/DAC/subwoofer issue without spending lots of money?
@ellajeanelle that's certainly an option, I didn't know those existed! I wonder if putting a streamer such as the Wiim Pro Plus into my existing Kenwood, into this, to my amp would fix this issue. Thanks for the suggestion!

@knotscott it does not have high level inputs. I totally get what you’re saying, but my goal is to avoid spending money on a streamer and a preamp. Not buy a subwoofer as well! Thanks for the suggestion.

@dill  yes the only noticeable difference is that the sub out is no longer usable when switched to seperate.

@mesch I've looked for the output voltage on the Eskinsin but have been unable to locate it, but seeing as the volume does change a little, I am hoping that instead of an amplifier issue, it's more like both devices have too low of an output volta... 
Am I reaching the max power / amplitude of my Rotel RB-951 power amp?
Okay great! So I need to explore a way to play media through my amp that doesn't involve the kenwood or the eskinsin. I'm assuming through a media player such as a modern AVR I can connect to, a streamer such as bluesound (expensive!) or some or s...

The level controls are turned up to the maximum. They can be turned and the volume can go down, but they cannot be turned to make the volume go up. They are at their maximum.

@gs5556 the levels screws do turn down the volume, but it does not go up past the limit I am at, leading me to believe that it is set to maximum.

@imhififan yes those level adjustments are set to maximum. I was hoping that was it when I came across those a few months back but alas. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’d love to say I’ll just keep tinkering with it, but i’ve been tinkering with the problem off and on for the better part of 6 months now. The only thing I have left at this point is to start buying other alternatives and switching things out, unl...

Hey, thanks for the response. So I’ve tried two different sources. One, bluetooth into the eskinsin receiver which is plugged directly into the amp. Two, playing the tuner in the kenwood stereo receiver, plugged directly into the amp through the ...

Yes, the volume with the kenwood is turned up all the way when using a TT or tuner. Also when I am using BT through the eskinsin. I have also tried using the eskinsin directly into the amp, and it does get 3 dB louder, but still caps out there as ...

apologies @mesch it appears that is a CD player. My power amp is the Rotel 951B MkII. Weirdly similiar names ... but anyways, that’s a great idea. But this is a very budget build, and I did luck out on the speakers, so I’ll keep perusing used and ...

@weebeesdad thanks! I do see what you're talking about on the bottom, although from the listing I just posted it's a little hard to tell on the bottom since that cover is ruined and pushed down. But I will say the internals look identical so far a...

Thanks! I'm unsure of what you mean. Are you asking what connections I'm using?
