Since the Devialet does all its signal processing using floating point, digital clipping is not the real issue.
However boosts shall be handled with really extreme precautions because you will rapidly hit the maximum power of your amplifier and then trigger soft clipping.
With a boost of 20dB like mentioned by @PeppaPig , it would mean that if you are listening with the volume above -20dB you could enter in soft clipping.
So the safer approach is the one recommended by @ogs to only reduce and avoid boosting.
That means that instead of flattening the curve around the middle you flatten it around the bottom.
You will need to listen with the volume knob turned higher, but that will be much safer.
