The A3.2 volume control is either a potentiometer or of that nature. The CSiB volume control uses a digitally controlled attenuator. They are two different devices. Most probably your experience with the CSiB is working as designed. A few years back I went from a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated to a Simaudio i7 which has a volume control similar to your CSiB. I experienced the exact situation as you, and at first was a bit concerned. When I understood the difference in the nature of the two volume controls, I was at ease and enjoyed the i7. It, like your CSiB, would go a ways into the volume range before I heard what I considered a lower listening volume.
Call Coda to be sure, but this may be the way it is by design. The CSib is a fine amp made by a top notch company.
