Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: What's the math behind a digital volume control?

Digital attenuation done with PCM truncates data. It is roughly 1 bit loss of resolution per 6dB attenuation. Some clever designs use dithering and wordlength expansion to minimize this effect, but it's still there.
