Ceejay: I'm curious how you know this.

I'm not at all suggesting you're wrong, but I'd like to know how to
determine this myself.  If you look at all the manufacturer literature,
they'd have you believe every one of them with a bypass mode is pure
analog bypass.  Yet the volume control always works in this mode, but
most of these volume controls are encoders rather than potentiometers. 
I'm not fully versed in electronics but I don't know how an encoder
could be used in a fully-analog circuit for volume control.
