Thanks for taking the effort to find it and read it

*** However your example where the clipped signal level is below a similar signal at a higher level but without clipping contradicts this. ***

Actually, it is also likely that the clipped signal level is at 0dB FS and signals at a higher level are samples of the reconstructed analog waveform at points where it exceeds 0dB FS. remember we are taking a recording of a reconstructed analog waveform, it will be highly unlikely we are sampling at exactly the same points as the original digital recording.

*** PCM is at an advantage because overflow can be dealt with by having sufficent headroom in processing bits. DSD can't so that's probably why the max out at -6dB ***

Your statement is contradicted by those of ted smith and graemme previously on the asylum. given that these people have been involved in designing and building audio equipment, or have direct experience recording and mastering in DSD, i choose to believe them over you.
