Yes but a good quality logarithmic version may be more suitable. Certainly if you are used to standard logarithmic volume control as in about every other device. FWIW my DCB1 has a logarithmic 20 kOhm one. Linear ones are a pest for normal experience volume control.
When using stepped volume control one will find out very quickly that 24 steps are really far from enough.

well, if using linear stepped, 24 is certainly not enough
if log, functionally it is enough, except if used in some professional purposes or if amateur user is spoiled

The trouble is that it is practically either a tad too loud or a tad too soft. Also the range has quite a few steps that are never used. IMHO category “self inflicted nuisances” when compared to the experience of operating a potentiometer. Starts to be equivalent at 40 steps (or with trickery/switches).
All with regards to user experience/friendliness. If it is about perceived quality one for sure can get rid of ones money in either direction 🙂

I find adding a low volume/high volume range switch I.e. “trickery/switches” a good solution. I use my “low range 90% of the time. It also keeps the visiting youngster from frying your speakers..
