Had a chat with the guy at the shop and he said to lower the DAC input instead of getting attentuators.
Do I understand correctly, that even though Spotify renderer as implemented by moode is incapable of using hardware volume, moode will set the maximum ALSA volume via hardware (e.g. 50%) so that no bit depth reduction is incurred as long as I do not further reduce the volume in the Spotify app controlling the renderer?
