Volume control in the DSD is fully digital, bit perfect, and lossless.

Edit, this thread should be of help:

DirectStream Volume

I ordered the DirectStream about a week ago and had a few questions about the volume control. I plan on using the DS as a DAC only. Should I set the Volume to 100 to avoid any loss of resolution? Do I set the Gain to High or Low? Is the volume control analogue or digital? I've read that if the volume control is digital the signal must be converted to PCM. Thanks
