I'm recording realtime audio from Max into TwistedWave, DSP-Quattro, Reaper.... with virtual audio drivers such us Source-Nexus or Soundflower.

Whenever I go over 1. in Max I get clipping in the recording program. This is normal but when scaling properly the amplitude of the recorded 32bit-float file you can not recover the waveform: it is just limited. So why is it dac~ limiting when using virtual audio drivers that works at 32 bits?

Just for curiosity, other software doesn't have this limitation when using virtual audio drivers.

i am not firm with newer versions of max but i think nowadays you can turn that feature off somewhere? (globally, not at the dac object)
