The clipping light just indicates digital clipping, i.e. a hot recording, usually something modern, mastered by a man in his shed somewhere. If I play my CD's I never see the yellow light.

I have seen the same on several pairs of 5k's now so it's not a problem. The actual volume of the music at this point is at least 70 and far louder than I want to tolerate for any length of time.
