RE: Modern (bit) lossless digital volume control

How soft are you listening to the music at?

The digital volume control (which only applies to the digital inputs) is 32 bit, so with 24 bit data you have 48dB to play with before any bit truncation and with 16 bit data, you have a full 96dB.
-48dB is already pretty quiet even as background music so why would you be worried about bit truncation in that scenario? The ESS 9028Pro is already giving you essentially perfect linearity down to the very limits of measurement.

If you are hearing distortions, it is possible that you have another problem somewhere else in the system.
