Actually I've heard a couple people say that the HEDD doesn't clip all that well in comparison to some other ADC's - but not having heard one being put into clipping in person this is just hear say. So far the ADC's that to my ears leave the least amount of undesirable artifacts in my testing have been the Burl B2 and the Lavry Gold (I had an earlier dB Tech model for a couple weeks before selling it for some needed cash). The Burl's coloration on the mid/upper mids (it's more saturated but softer transients in this area) made me pass on it - while the Lavry Gold's price (and some reported reliability issues) made me pass on it as well.
