Yes, and this is not a good thing. This amp forces you to control the volume in the digital domain, and as a result signal resolution is lost at lower playback levels than maximum level. If the amp is inexpensive, why not. However, the "true digital" feature of this amp is really not worth a penny extra, because of the fact that you still have to control the volume in the digital domain... (A good true digital amp would take full level digital input and have some innovative feature for controlling the volume that preserves the full signal resolution to the DAC or PWM. TacT Millennium and other TacT amps do this, for example). Don't buy the digital claim of this amp. A good conventional amplifier with analog volume control and built in (or external) DAC will sound better any day...
