ReplayGain adds "distortion" only in the same way that any other linear amplitude adjustment in the digital domain does: it can increase quantisation noise. But since the TP's digital volume control works at 24 bit precision, it is highly unlikely that any change to the quantisation noise will be audible. Since you already use the TP's digital volume control, I'd guess that you are not concerned by this issue.
Note: there is one other way that ReplayGain can add distortion: if the ReplayGain value is positive (which is pretty rare) such that applying it would bring the peak level above 0dB, then clipping will be introduced.
