Last section of this post explains modern digital VC. cPlay offers 53 bit numerical precision, i.e. no resolution loss. I'm currently using this digital VC [-24db .. -30db] into DAC.

Analogue VC only has advantage when preamp's SNR betters DAC's. Juli@'s DAC offers a SNR of 114db - not sure if you can get an affordable preamp that better this!

  This is an excellent software volume control.
  I am using the lightspeed attenuator posted on diyaudio and find it a wonderful companion to cmp/cplay. Very affordable and to my ear allows the full potential of cplay to come through. No question that with cplay at 0.0 and the lightspeed handling -40db of attenuation the sonics are much more complete.
