Hi, I am using the YEDS-18 test CD, standard for compact disc player alignment.
Signals like a 1000hz sine or 100hz sine at full scale heavily clip
on the Buffalo II. So will music.

Now one could say that overshoots in 0dB test signals
were unknown back then.
But any other player plays the YEDS-18 fine.

And, most important:

The clipping is not always there.

Switching off the Buffalo off and back on sometimes helps.

Then the test signal will me played fine.

So something erratic must happen,
when the Buffalo II/ES9018 initialises during powering up.

Input is tranformer-isolated SPDIF and the clipping is
definately in the digital realm.

Best,
Salar
