Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

No loss of resolution

Just as the DirectStream DAC Senior there is no loss of reolution when using the volume control.

From the DS DAC Junior Owner's Manual:

The internal volume control keeps complete precision: every bit in the input affects the output of the DAC for any volume level. Except for the sigma-delta modulation process itself, there is no rounding, dither, or other trimming - not to 24 bits, not to 32 bits, not to 48 bits, but rather a full 50. The incoming PCM signal is 30 bits from the upsampling filter, and the volume control is 20 bits wide, so all 50 bits of the output are used throughout the sigma-delta conversion, requiring more than 50 bits of precision.
