This could be dangerous for your speakers, amp, and wallet.
Its not safe to trust the Touch (or any other computer controlled
source) for volume limiting. If there is a bug (when?) in the Touch or
other device, and it sends 100% volume to your amp and on to your
speakers, it can damage the amp and/or speakers.

Most worrisome, often when a SqueezeBox bug causes this, its sending
noise to the output, not just loud music. The noise signal can cause
damage at loudness levels that are acceptable for occasional music
listening.

There have been many discussions and threads on this topic in the
audiophile section. I recommend you search there for recommended
attenuators.
