Of course, there's the argument that the noise level is a broadband measurement, and that it doesn't completely mask low level events such as reverb tails, etc. But still, with 24 bits of precision, there's still a lot of "fudge factor" to keep the quantization distortion which occurs as a result of the simple volume adjustment pretty much inaudible at reasonable attenuation.
