IME, yes

try a software program that analyses the peaks and reduces the volume to the output file. I use one that is no longer available but there should be some more out there. You would be amazed at how many albums have intersample over zero peaks.

Or you can just lower the volume digitally in the player software by 1db or 2db prior to it getting to the dac and achieve the same thing.

Tape saturation is like a soft limiter.
