RD James:
You lose the least significant bits first.

to Alex M

I suggest you inform yourself about digitizing, there is a lot of educational material on the web.
It works different. It is as RD_James says.

Alex M:
I tried to convey the physical meaning. I know how it works.

I know very simple thing - in my system if I reduce the volume in JRiver by more than 7-8 db, sound loses dynamics and become flat. I needed to do it with previous Dirac version due to some clipping it introduced on certain albums.

Same was with super-duper digital volume on once mine Logitech Transporter

pschelbert:
This is a problem of the nonlinearity of the ear.
It is well known effect since ca. the 1930 (Flechter-Munson) that the frequency response of the ear is SPL-level dependent, thats why there is loudness correction.
It has nothing to do with the resolution of the signal or influence of volume control. The effect you will have as you noted if you have a super-duper precise volume control or not.

To get rid of that phenomen, exchange of the ears is needed :) which is rather difficult :)
