Hi aadev,
I have one further update for you: the HiFiBerry DAC+ Light is similar to the DAC in the AxiomAir in that it has no built in 'hardware' volume control, but the HiFiBerry DAC+ Light is based on a different DAC chipset, the ESS Sabre. There's one more commercially available DAC board that is based on the same DAC chipset and also has no volume control: the Pimoroni pHAT DAC. There is a Volumio configuration file available for it and it seems like it's been tested already. (Choosing the HiFiBerry DAC+ Light may also work.)
Based on a quick look at the Volumio online documentation, you will likely need to go into Volumio's "Playback Options - Volume Settings" and choose "Mixer Type = Software".

This was the trick. Selecting the pHAT DAC in the startup wizard of a fresh install of Volumio gave me the ability to control system volume. This will work for my purposes for now, but I'd still like to see Axiom add eventual support for Spotify Connect.
