If the sampler clips prior to the antialias filter, the extraneous high frequency information will be removed and the clipping will sound cleaner.

hmmm i think too much thought is being put into this. what is clipping converters? are we talking what you hear or what you see? if it's what you see then every converter interprets 'over' differently. My dCS will not say 'over' at what the Lavry will, yet I don't hear it on either. There is either distortion or there is not... and even if there is distortion... it can still be ok. Its always depends on the program material.
