If the recording already has clipping, there is nothing you can do about it. If your DAC clips with a full-scale signal, it is rather badly designed - and easily fixed by not playing at full volume. So what you need is not replay gain, but a sensible gain structure in your system. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
