I won't get into a debate about whether digital volume control per se is
a good or bad thing.

But if you feel happy with digital volume control, then rest assured
that the Touch (probably) implements it as well as any other device. I
know for sure that on the older models (SB3, Transporter, etc) the
digital volume control is very cleverly arranged so that every step down
to around -30dB results in absolutely NO rounding errors whatsoever if
the source is 16 bit. Presumably the Touch's firmware will have
inherited this enlightened arrangement. (I don't own a Touch so can't
say for sure).



Transporter -> ATC SCM100A
