Bits and digital attenuation

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Hi,

When you're using something like Audirvana and it says output is 32Bit and say 44.1kHz, feeding a 16Bit DAC chip, does that mean I could use up to 16dB attenuation without losing any resolution?

Thanks for any comment.
