Harry,

The understanding is that any losses from volume change are only due to your playback hardware, and are not permanent. If you have a 24- bit DAC, you won't hear the quantization noise added by changing the volume. Even if you did, you could turn off the replay gain and get the original audio. That's why it is still considered lossless.

to normalize in a lossless way the audio volume.

But how can this be possibly lossless? You change the volume of the audio tracks, so isn't this lossy or does the actual volume of a track isn't considered as "audio quality"?

thanks in advance
PS: I'm a beginner, so it could be a stupid question!
