Default digital decibel question

Hello,

let's say you have a 10 second wave file with "normal" levels. then
you lower it 6 db on the track fader, and raise the master fader 6 db.

if i understand correctly, the sound level will be the same as if you
never moved any levels, but the wave file going out of the master
output would now suffer degradation because you affected the bit-
depths twice. maybe the quality loss is not noticeable, but
mathematically there is a quantifiable effect.

is this correct?
