OpAmp configuration with gain less than 1

The output voltage from AD5611 DAC is rail-to-rail, and minimum Vcc is 2.7V - therefore, the signal will range 0-2.7V. I need to attenuate this signal to let's say 0-2V range. The DAC output if very weak, so I need to use OpAmp to buffer it. Is it a good practice to use G=<1 configuration for decreasing signal's amplitude, or is there a better way to do it?

I saw this question, but I do not think that using voltage divider would be a good idea in my case, since the dac output is very weak, and using large resistances would introduce noise.
