By default it lowers the overall level to have room for the maximum
peak, but there are many options to control the level drop.  I
personally use fixed 6.5dB level drop to have all tracks in the album
the same level after the processing.

I tested once with full scale sine wave amplified by 1dB to cause
clipping and then restoring it with DeClip.  The resulting wave looks
on a editor like a sine wave, but still does not sound like a pure sine
wave.  But it sounds smooth, not unpleasantly harsh like the clipped
one.
