What could be interesting is seeing if ReplayGain can actually *improve* the sound. A (poorly-mastered?) CD might not get up to 100% of level. Applying (positive) ReplayGain in the digital domain might improve DAC SNR, even if there is no more information. Of course, you would need to be using an analogue volume control.
Anyone tried this? I would have thought it would make little change on a 24-bit DAC, but might do on 16-20 bit ones.
