Yes. > Will I still get a full 16bit signal? Or will it start truncating and > dithering? You will start getting truncation and/or interpolation as soon as you turn down the volume at all, but it won't affect the upper 16 bits until below -48 dB. I would have thought that is way below 60%. > Is there a point at where a lower volume point introduces audible issues > - say, if I set the Touch volume at 10% and then jack up the volume on > my preamp? Well, theoretically at least you could turn down the volume until there is only 1 or 2 bits of resolution left, and then amplify that up to normal listening volumes... but unless your gain structure is way, way out of wack, there is no reason to worry.
