Not sure about the TP but with many DACs there's actually a benefit to running a few db below max digital volume. It allows rendering of inter sample peaks >0db, when these occur, whilst upsampling. (Only some DACs have this "DSP headroom" built in.)
Still, if you're permanently stuck on low digital volume because the system has too much gain then that's bad. But I don't view a peak of 100% as best, I never go higher than 80% for example.
