I would think 6dB would be in - its a psychoacostic effect, humans cant detect the harmonic distortion from clipping at very short durations (< 1 ms or so I think). In any case it would definatly be an option, the extra headroom isn't always desirable, and it might be audible under certian circumstances. - Steve
