Your saying loss of dynamic range is an audible problems and moreover
quantify by etc... I don't know about that. Depends on the degree imho.

I think a few devices have implemented smart digital volume control
that doesn't just shave bit depth.
The Squeeze* products are among those (on 16bit source material).
Volume control is done on a 24bit representation of the signal. But
that only means that one

Well, that's not too bad then. Does that

No I think its as good as it gets :)
Does that mean the output from the SPDIF is at 24 bit, too, when
using digital volume control?
I believe so, but according to the specs it can do both, 16 and 24. I
don't know what mechanisms

AFAIK output of the SB is ALWAYS 24-bit. Regardless of input. Same as
TACT gear - same approach to digital volume

I guess the only downside is that:

Good to know. Thanks.

Based on that bug it's not clear to me the method that will be employed
via digital volume. Will it be truncating bit depth, or something more
elegant?
I realize it's possible to do digital volume control that doesn't
introduce audible problems (loss of dynamic range, etc) but it's not
clear if
I have a SB3, which I use, digits out, to a Tact pre-amp, but sometimes
use it with the headphone out feeding the dining room system, which has
no volume control, but relies on the variable out of the SB. Just
updated the squeezecentre software, and the SB did a firmware update
to.
In the past I
I believe the only way is to use an old squeezecenter and firmware
combination. This feature disappeared some time ago..

What a burn!
Seems a rather 'odd' feature

I seem to recall this was necessitated because of firmware memory
restrictions (this might be wrong). It is tedious that a feature that
used to work perfectly has been removed - presumably to fit some other
feature in.
