This may sound OK on good converters, but is stretching the limits of what domestic DA converters (as found on CD Players, MP3 players or computers) can handle without producing the "harsh" sound that so many complain about! I am actually shocked to see that kind of clipping on CDs such as Radiohead's In Rainbows mastered by Bob "God of Mastering" Ludwig... It seems to be totally unnecessary.
