It's true that using a digital volume control results in "sonic degradation" but there are a couple of points to consider.
1. "Sonic degradation" does not mean "audible degradation". 2. Any volume control results in "degradation" of the signal. The valid comparison is between a system using digital volume control _with_no_preamp_ to a system including a traditional preamp in the signal path. In certain situations (not all) the digital volume control can be better overall. The key words are "certain situations" and "overall".
