How Do Digital Amplifiers Clip?

Didn't realize Ice power soft clips. Good to know. I still do not think I have heard any hint of clipping with the BC ref1000ms though. First time ever in 35 years worth of audio I can say that about my system.

One of the first thing I would recommend to most anyone is do whatever you need to insure against clipping with your amp and speakers. The effects can be detrimental to sound way before it even becomes noticeable. Its a fundamental thing that every owner should be alert to.

It's a good question. If my Class D amps have clipped, I have not heard it yet. Avoiding clipping like death is a big reason I went for 500w/ch Icepower amps. I like my music loud and my large OHM speakers are not particularly efficient (87db or so I believe). I've heard a lot of amps both SS and tube clip over the years. If the BC ref1000ms have ever clipped, I am not aware of it. Nothing I throw at them can seem to make them even break a sweat.
