How Do Digital Amplifiers Clip?

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.

I have the bel cantos too. They have a soft clipping feature to smooth the waveform and cut output slightly as clipping approaches. I believe that feature is built into the B and O ICE module. Like mapman above I never run out of steam. I just keep turning it up and the soundstage gets bigger, deeper and wider.

Its manufacture specific.

Yes, soft clipping is built into Icepower amps.

I have a Linn 2250S digital amp I just acquired with one channel down. On inspection, I see no evidence of anything having been fried or any odor that might indicate this. The components in there are awfully tiny. Is it possible to repair this thing short of replacing the entire board? The $800.00 flat rate Linn wants to replace it unfortunately for me, relegates it to the trash heap.
