Hi,
If you use a TVC, use pretty much any resistor you like, considering load on the source.
If you use a stepped attenuator, use a resistor appx. 10 to 100 times that of the attenuator.
If using a Pot, place it inside the Amp and remove ANY resistors. Any load on a pot's wiper will degrade SQ.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
