Someone else posted this and it's a very reasonable explanation
~~Adding a 50K resistors before a volume pot virtually lengthens the resisting surface by 50K. Say you have a 50K pot that you never go over half its rotation range. Adding a 50K resistor before pushes that useless half outside the rotation range (not really on a log pot, but you get the idea). It's effectively stretching the first half of the pot across its whole rotation range. The value isn't important, you chose it after experimenting with your system until you find the right value. It depends on the voltage out of your DAC and the voltage your headphones need.
I use 50k or 47K just make sure you use LOG pots
