I am always careful of any advice that includes the word "always". :) I guess this really belongs down in the "audiophile" section, but most digital volume adjustments are done at more than 16 bit precision, so covered by the self-dither of the inherent noise in the actual music. In any case, the resulting "lack of precision" manifests itself as (very low-level, way beyond the source material) noise. "Aliasing" is usually used for something else, and has nothing to do with volume adjustment. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
