PEQ Preamp Gain and -10db limit

[Mfluder]

I’ve got a few PEQ settings I’d like to try (oratory1990 and others) on the Pro Plus where the negative preamp gain setting can be as great as -13db.
Without a preamp gain setting on the WiiM PEQ screens; does everyone use the per input pre-gain when applying PEQ on the WiiM?
Any way around the -10db limit on that setting screen?

There's no way around the -10 dB limit for pre-gain.

Why do you bother with pre-gain? Trying to avoid digital clipping? The volume limiter can be used for that, too. 5 percentage points correspond to a reduction of 3 dB, increasing headroom by the same amount.
