Hi folks,

This is a very simple question and approach on a very complex topic, but here goes:

Lots of popular recordings now have digital clipping from the way they were mastered. Now, this
1. Sounds like crap, and
2. Could damage speakers at high listening levels.

Is there any way (short of remastering everything I listen to that might have digital clipping) to fix this? Any product that might accept a spdif-in, do it's magic, and pass along the result to my receiver? (Or software that might do about the same?)

I know, in a sense, that when a recording has digital clipping some information has probably been lost, but is there any decent way to interpolate what was lost and make it 'good' (sounding decent and not damaging to speakers) again? Do tube amps help? (Looking for both theoretical and practical answers).

Thanks guys,
Mike
