The table gain values of 2048 and greater are all multiples of 256. That
means if you multiply 16-bit data by the table values, the least
significant 8 bits of the 32-bit result will be all zeros - so there is
no truncation when the most significant 24 bits are fed to a 24-bit DAC.
The 2048 gain value corresponds to -30.1dB. With lower gain values than
that there is truncation.
