Is there a way to add "loudness" to a Peachtree Nova 150?

Has anyone tried using the Schiit Loki with a Peachtree Nova 150,300,500 ?

I have a Nova 150 with Vintage Klipsch Kg2 speakers (mini Forte’s). And am streaming with a Bluesound Node 2i. I also have a Denon DRA-25 that I upgraded from to the Nova 150. So, the Denon has a loudness knob that sounds good with my set up with the Loudness maxed on flat. This sounds good at lower volume. However, the Nova doesn’t unless it’s turned up quite loud and in my small living room it’s too loud. So does anyone know if I added the Schiit Loki with the loop on the Nova if it will do what the loudness knob does on the Denon?

So, what's the better option?  Schiit Loki or Chase Tech remote line controller?

I would go for Chase (reminder, needs the remote).

Loki might be a better tone control (4 bands) than the Chase, it is smaller than the Chase

but the Chase is much more versatile as a remote system controller.

remote power, remote volume, remote balance from your seated position is awesome for the tracks that benefit a LOT from a SMALL balance tweak, remote tone, mute, and automatically engaged fletcher munson 'loudness'. 

use it in a variety of ways
