If you control audio volume before it enters a DAC chip, then it is not a problem. In the other case it depends on the design od the chip. Check previous replies.
For example the latest chips from ESS “should” be OK:

Thanks! It's an interesting question. I've done a little bit of online searching (for example about Genelec speaker systems' volume controls) and it appears that most DACs and DAC-containing systems with built-in volume controls implement the digital volume control properly inside the DAC. But I'm sure there are outliers.
