I never thought about the excess signal being converted to drive rather than heat in low level setting and it's a plausible argument as long as speakers are up to task. Most of modern dacs have a volume controls. Some are implemented poorly and some claim to be state of the art controls. One of my Dac's (Antelope Zodiac Gold) has supposedly SOTA stepped attenuator and it's got a great reviews as well. I tried it with many amps and for rather intangible reason I was always drawn to music more with the preamp in chain. I just like colored Hi-fi and some form of tone control I guess and that would be the majority of audiophile community.
Of course being notoriously poor I never had the luxury of configuring system like a true checkbook audiophile and had to rely on what "cat brought from the street" accidental setups. It doesn't mean they were cheap actually.
