Yes, the Grant Fidelity Tube Dac 11 documentation leaves a lot to be desired, but it appears as if the "DAC out" is line level, e.g. 2V and the the tube "buffer" and volume control with the added gain stage of the tube has an output of 6V. That said, I think you will find the best sound if you put the volume control (100k audio taper) on the front of the amp and use the DAC line out. 2VRMS line output is the standard "Red Book" value so you don't need to worry about future CD player or DAC purchases.
I build all my amps with an expected 2V RMS input, so I actually try to have the amp clip with a 1V input to give myself 6dB of headroom, but it is not always possible to achieve this with a two stage amp which is what you are considering. As I stated above, with 2V into your volume control and the 45 tube clipping with 56V at the grid, it should be simple to engineer a two stage amp.
