At the moment I'm setting the levels digitally through the Squeezebox, which I realize means dropping bits. I have not changed the input or output levels on the DCX.This is not ideal, of course, and I'll probably do what you suggest and add a 4- or 6-gang pot after the DCX outputs for better control. That way I could hook up my CD player as well.
As regards analog, I guess I'll have to do more research. I have no idea what to do to get my turntable hooked up and sounding good. Consensus seems to be that the stock DCX is pretty bad for analog sources. In any case, I have to admit that I've mainly been looking at the DCX from a digital point of view. One of the main selling points was that it has a decent DAC for use with the Squeezebox. That, combined with the active crossover, made it a pretty easy choice for me.
