My main point still stands that at half the amplitude or half the energy (perceptually half the volume) you're only losing half a bit to a bit of resolution. And even at -20 - -30dB, with 4-5 bits of resolution loss, you're probably not going to notice the degredation.
It's worth noting that perceptually, half the volume is actually closer to 3dB (a halving of energy), which is only half a bit of loss.
If a floating point audio pipeline correctly dithers the signal going into the DAC it's unlikely anybody will notice any quality loss by using a digital volume control (even at 16-bit). You might hear the hiss of the dithering if you turn up the analogue portion of the chain, although you'd have to turn it up quite a lot.
