Let's not go down the rabbit hole. My point is, can I leave the volume on my Pi or Touch at around 60%, set pre/amp gains accordingly, and then use the Touch volume control as a tune-up for minor changes? Will I still get a full 16bit signal? Or will it start truncating and dithering? Is there a point at where a lower volume point introduces audible issues - say, if I set the Touch volume at 10% and then jack up the volume on my preamp?
