It's one of the only players out there that has an ANALOG volume control.
Controlling the attenuation in the digital domain is about the worse way you can do it (ala WADIA).
You throw away bits to lower volume and restore them to increase it.
This is why you will find DACs/Players that do this in the digital domain sound best at higher volumes, and as some have found, they sound best with the output turned all the way up, and then run through a pre amp, therefore defeating the entire purpose of having a volume control.
