AES/EBU Digital input sensitivity

[Jean-Marie]

Correct. In general you will not have digital clipping. Some rare cases will produce the odd inter-sample clipping though, but you may not even notice this. If you start using up sampling or other DSP (as in Roon for example) this can happen more often. Then you'd need to attenuate a little.

And Clipping with the Devialet is not a problem before it is using elliptic compression to avoid clipping that is damageable to the speakers.
