I miss read the specification and thought volume control resolution was 1/4 dB. The specification says 1/8 dB. Thus rather than having a volume control range of zero to -99 dB, in reality it was only zero to -49.5 dB.
This is actually "good news" as my normal listening level was in the -50 dB range which in fact was -25 dB.
As discussed in a previous post, from a theoretical point of view, there is no loss of data for the upper 48 dB volume level. I was wondering why for a passive volume control, -50 dB sounded so "loud"
