Turntable speed accuracy

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Yes, if the control is wide-open, or at least above a certain level, there is no loss in resolution. Assuming you were able to use/keep the DVC at a level above which there was no loss in resolution, would there be a benefit in using the LSA? 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
There are a number of DACs on the market with 1V or greater output and digital volume control. Setting aside potential loss in resolution from the DVC, would the LSA provide better sound than direct-to-amp?
