The digital volume control is very good in LMS. Particularly when playing 16/44.1 (CD quality), as LMS uses 24 bits to stream and has the extra 8 bits (24 - 16) to use for volume control. Best to keep the LMS volume at about 65-70% or higher. ReplayGain is fine. I use both digital volume

When using optical or coaxial digital out, the volume should be set to 100% to send a bit perfect signal to your external DAC. LMS: SGC microJukebox • Players: Duet, Touch (two), ultraRendu, Mac SqueezePlay, Win Squeezelite-X • Control apps: Android Squeezer, Win Squeezelite-X
