You have just spent rather a long time doing some bizarre test which advises folk never to use digital attenuation because of the damage it causes to the signal, and now you're suggesting that cutting off whole samples by 1dB is fine??? This is truly priceless!! You really have no understanding of either analogue or digital audio engineering, do you?
