Helping my family buy their first speakers. We hooked up my Swan m200mkii's to the tv now there's no going back. We want to go with three speakers for around $1000, receiver and everything included. I'm considering going with some Swans because mine kick so much rear end. Is this a good decision?

Short version: what is the best way to hook up self-powered speakers to a TV with remote control for volume?

Just picked up an awesome 65" KS8000. I own a pair of Swans M200MKii self-powered computer speakers which are currently connected to the TV via optical out -> cheap DAC -> analog in to the speakers. My sources (PC, game consoles) are connected directly into the TV via HDMI. My issue is that the TV's built in volume control doesn't work with the optical out, so the only way to adjust the volume is manually on the speakers.

I see two options:

1. get a DAC which has a remote (cheapest one I can find is this which is too expensive)
2. get a regular receiver which has RCA out. Somehow I can't find anything like this.

Am I on the right track? Any devices y'all would recommend? Thanks in advance.
