2.1 system with miniDSP 2/4HD

If I turn the volume up to maximum on the miniDSP and control the volume with the knob on the Denon integrated, what's wrong?

Nothing is wrong with that, as long as your sources are connected to the Denon and the Denon is outputting to the MiniDSP.

If your sources are connected to the MiniDSP and the MiniDSP is outputting to the Denon, the problem would be that your subwoofer volume would not adjust with your mains.

What can you do with the mini DSP connected to the Denon as in the first case?

In the first case sources go to Denon, Denon controls volume and outputs to MiniDSP, MiniDSP stays at fixed/max volume and outputs to power amp and subwoofer.

(Feel like we’re starting to go in circles here…)

in this way the miniDSP is able to do something on the sources connected to the Denon?

You are about to break the number of questions that can be asked about a simple 2.1 setup record ;)

Yes. With the Denon pre-outs feeding the MiniDSP, all sources connected to the Denon will have their signals passed through the MiniDSP for processing.

yes, but to hear the processing do I need a power amplifier or not?

In that scenario, yes you do.

Regarding your fear of having the Denon at maximum volume in the other scenario — it would only need to be at your maximum listening level, not at full maximum. And would not require additional equipment.
 
out 1,2 and 3 signals are very low.
why?

Either your input signal is low, or your miniDSP is set up for high signal attenuation.

And if I've read the specs right, is only 0.9v out (but 2v if the HD)

Edit. Is the the 2/4 or the 2/4 HD @musica?
