digital clipping- if you digital feed is clipping then it can make stuff sound pretty bad.

analog clipping- as long as it doesnt sound distorted, push those levels man!!!!

no clipping= turn it up louder!!!!!!!!!!!

i think thats what youre after

digital cliping is when the signal level exceeds the 0db point and should be avoided because it sounds auwfull

analog clipping occours above arround +21 db and distorts the signal, the higher past this point = the more it will distort.

you can overdrive analog signals a bit to get a bit of distortion but heavily over driven signals can damage your speakers

hope this helps
