"2. This process can lead to a loss of bit depth, which in theory reduces the resolution and dynamic range of the audio signal. For example, reducing the volume of a 16-bit audio file by 6dB effectively reduces it to a 15-bit file."Not quite right. You have 32-bits to work with internally (in many modern DACs) so you're not reducing the 16-bit music file by 1-bit. You're reducing the 32-bits you have work with by 1-bit.
Not liking how your Benchmark DAC sounds at low levels likely has more to do with its Analog+Digital volume implementation and its anemic analog output stage.
