Is this a Sony unit? They are known for unprecise level meters showing just

Of course this is a matter of definition, but there is no reasonable way
a recording could be "over" on playback, as "over" usually means that the
material way beyond the recordably range...

That's true. Actually, it seems that quite a few commercially available
cds are digitally clipped, at least that's what I read in one of those
audiophile magazines...
