The internal architecture in most modern DACs is 32-bit so if you're playing 24 or 16-bit material you have 'lots of extra bits' to spare with no perceptible impact on resolution, dynamic range, or THD+N.That being said, my DAC actually incorporates a digitally controlled relay stepped attenuator using discrete PCB mounted resistors in it's volume control. I can set it to 0.5dB or 1.0dB steps. 100% repeatable. That's another way to do it, since you asked.
