digital or analog volume control?


I am presently running my dac direct to my amplifiers using the digital volume control of foobar (for ripped cds) and MPCHC (for movies).  When I play movies on MPC it indicates playback at 32 bit floating point, and from what I have read, Foobar does the same, and both sound great to me. I am having a dac modified (Monarchy audio M24) and my tech has given me the option of direct out (like I am using now - with no analog volume control) or either an alps or ldr type volume control - at added expense, the latter the most expensive.  Is the analog volume control better sounding than the digital that am presently using?

Buffered or unbuffered volume control, and if buffered, what circuitry is forming the buffer for the amplifier?
I have gold plated connectors that pass GHz signals cleanly. Gold plate does not roll off highs.
