The Squeezeboxes do not clip, even at full volume. If your source
material is in clipping range, nothing in the world will be able to
change that.
Unless you are gong with an over-preamplified analog signal into your
power amp - in which case the problem is with your preamp setup - replay
gain

DACs really couldn't care less. A DAC doesn't know if a (digital) signal
is clipped or not, and reproduces the signal just the same.
OK, you might have a
Whether or not there is a clipping issue with a persons music or stereo
gear is kind of beside the point of providing replay gain support in
SqueezePlayer. Replay gain support would be a very nice feature for
SqueezePlayer so that an Android based Squeezebox player will be able to
have volume

If your DAC clips with a full-scale signal, it is rather badly designed
- and easily fixed by not playing at full volume.
So what you need is not replay gain, but a sensible gain structure in

Usually no, it just tells the DAC to turn down the volume.
Just to be clear, replay volume just adjusts the gain - exactly like you
would using the volume control. There is no difference. So whatever
advantage you think
