Digital Output volume from SB Touch should be ideally not reduced. There is even a set-up in LMS (Volume control) to keep the volume always on 100%. Up to 90% (incl replay gain) might be acceptable. Why don't you go to lower volume level with the DAC as this is the reducing the analog output w/o any qualitiy impact? Like preamp.
