Well if the dac is a true 16bit design i would not use digital volume, the spdiff standard is a bit weird it is basically 16 bit + 8 extra bits legacy design just discards the extra bits ( backwars compatible ) so you would runcate at the dac interface if using digital Volume you would never get 16 bits ? On the other hand i would not use such a dac 😊
