This is a deliberate design decision.  It gives good resolution at the
low end, and plenty of loudness at the high end.   There is no way to
damage the device by playing it too loud -- there is digital limiting,
so even with an extremely hot input signal, no damage will happen.  It
may sound lousy when it clips, but that's clipping in the digital
domain.  Neither the amps or the speakers can get overloaded.

BTW, I'm planning to add some good compression to handle that clipping
case more gracefully, but it's not implemented yet.
