how to get rid of Airplay volume limit

Hi,

I play music via a network player (renderer) on iPhone that can Airplay to my Marantz amp. Problem is that the volume is too low, specially when comparing with other inputs of my amp. For example, when I play the music on PC which is SPDIF' coaxial-connected to Marantz, then the volume is very high (in this way the amp receives PCM from coax input).
But when I play the same music via Airplay, that is the music is streamed on Ethernet and input to my amp's network input, the volumes becomes very very low. Trying on my amp to raise the volume has no effect because it instantly gets back to the max (which is 75 on my amp, where as the amp on other inputs can go up to 95).

Googling on Internet it seems Apple has put a limitation on Airplay volume. Are you aware of that ? Any workaround ?

thanks
