analogue amplification is also lossy, the question is always whether
or not it's audible.  the flac replaygain synthesis code does dithering
with noise shaping, so you should ABX test it to see if you can hear
a difference first.

also, the noise shaping is controllable via switches in one of the
conf files; you can spend more processor time to increase the quality.
