I had the same set up. For best quality output I used this set up: Mute SB3 analog outputs (0), set SB3 digital output as constant (i.e. without any volume control), leave Benchmark such that that the volume knob is disabled (setting on back I think). Then use the amp volume to set listening levels. However, my pre-amp had a remote... I wouldn't have had this setup if I had to get up off the floor to change the volume! I assume you have an integrated amp? I had a separate power and pre-amp and found that the Benchmark Dac pre-amp ran my power amp very nicely indeed... but I left the pre-amp in the system so I could use the remote to change the volume.
