HQPlayer Setup question

To prevent nasty clipping, HQPlayer is monitoring output and has soft-knee limiter which is triggered when such values are encountered. This causes the “Limited” counter in HQPlayer main window to increase and also volume knob changes to red to indicate “turn down the volume!”. But it is best to avoid this limiting to kick in by keeping volume set to lot enough value that there’s enough digital headroom in the output sample value range.

There’s certainly material where even -3 dBFS setting is not enough, but for most content it is enough.
