Then of course you have lot of headphone DAC/amps where there is only digital volume control.
Of course, including typical portable ones. In such a case HQPlayer volume control is the best option available. Taken from many discussions over the years, it is generally considered to be excellent.
For PCM, HQPlayer volume control is much much better option than DAC chip volume control. With DAC chip based volume control it is not possible to avoid intersample overflows. It's because volume control in DAC chips is performed after the 1st oversampling stage and not at input rate.
For direct DSD, HQPlayer is the only known option to perform digital volume control (without intermediate conversion to PCM).
