"IMHO every playback software having volume control can handle this. The only thing you have to do is lower the digital volume with 4 dB."
I'll have to experiment with that.
Roon (as with most players) can be setup for FIXED/Max output level -OR- software control over output level with a volume control slider or similar. I have read that using software control in players (and the volume control on some DACs) can limit the resolution (by truncating bits) so I always run my software Volume Control and DAC at FIXED/Max output and let my preamp handle the Volume level in the analog domain.
I have "Volume Leveling*" and "Headroom Management" enabled in Roon and I know of several 'hot tracks' that will light up Roon's clipping indicator without one of these Roon features enabled. I'll disable them and play those tracks then try software volume control to lower the level and see what happens.
