I assume you mean Max. However I doubt he said that. The input levels in the Duet are analogue gain controls, but the output level is digital. It occurs inside the ADC/DAC chip.
This does however mirror some of other other discussions raging about GS at the moment. So long as the noise floor of the whole system is greater than the LSB of the DAC (something that is hard to avoid with a 24 bit device - even it if it only good for 21 bits) then you still don't lose any resolution, because the resolution is noise limited and not bit depth limited.
