"The Jriver wiki page says their 64 bit Internal Volume is the highest possible quality software volume."
A potentially misleading claim.
The issue isn't the quality of the software volume control. It's what happens when the reduced signal exits the computer and hits the DAC. Even if the software volume control were "perfect" if the resulting signal is too low, then the DAC will lose resolution. This will not be an issue if the DAC accepts 32 bit input and has low noise, but it may be an issue if the DAC has 24 bit input or is noisy. It will certainly be an issue with a 16 bit DAC.
