What model Integrated Amp?
Yes, all the renderers use their own software volume algorithm but if the DAC exposes a hardware mixer to ALSA moode will set that to the value of "ALSA max volume" on Audio Config. It defaults to 100% (0dB).
Some renderers including AirPlay and Spotify Connect can also use the DAC's hardware mixer directly but that option proved to be quite difficult to manage reliably in moode code and so it was dropped like 7 or 8 years ago.
