If you use a player's analog outputs, there is no up or downconversion of the digital signal.* However, adjusting the volume via the player (since this is done in the digital domain) will degrade the audio. By how much? That's for the user to decide.

* Some Panasonics offer a resampling mode that will do this, but the change in the sound -- good or bad -- means you have changed what the original content was intended to sound like. Furthermore, the use of this feature is willingly made by the user (ie, it's not being forced by the manufacturer/author).

I'm familiar with that process as I have a mac mini for headless audio playback. Adjusting the volume in itunes is a no-no.
Thank you.
