Liz, you look at companies like Peachtree Audio. They make a fine integrated Dac, tube pre-amp, and amplifier. To save money, they expect the audio player to have the balance and loudness controls. But when you are streaming in Youtube, Netflix, or Hulu, or Pandora, or Mog without an audio player, you might be able to control the balance with the computer, but the system wide volume control does not have a loudness control.
The most efficient way for the op to have unmolested sound under control, is to zero in on a Vintage high-end pre-amp with analog loudness compensation, that has come down to an affordable price. If it cannot be restored, the company is no longer around, don’t buy it! Have it tuned back to original specs, and put it in the audio stream. It will work trouble free for another twenty years, and the music will be just fine.
