My old Yamaha hifi rack had a volume dial where the max was labeled 0 dB and the min setting was -inf dB. My new Yamaha shows the dB level on an LCD screen whever you touch the volume dial, and it too goes from -inf dB to 0 dB. I kinda assumed that stereos from other manufacturers would do the exact same thing, but tbh never checked.
