Padding a couple of 0s doesn't add any information more than 16bits. Dither will introduce distortion. There is a thing called bit perfect.You mentioned Benchmark. Yes my Benchmark DAC3 HGC is in storage. I usually put something in storage when they sound particular bad.
If you enjoy software volume control, go ahead enjoy it. I will stay with hardware volume control or analog volume control.
