Hi Curt,

> Any reactions?

I am not sure whether what im about to say is just plain BS or perhaps true
(somebody is bound to correct me if it is BS). 
What ive read about the Tascam DA-P1 dat machine is that its pre-amp
controls are in effect really just a variable pad that control the amount of
signal after the pre-amp stage. So while reducing the "gain" on the DA-P1
keeps the ad convertor from overloading, it doesn't do anything for pre-amp
overloads. The only remedy for which is using pads before going into the
DA-P1. 
Perhaps you could try this with your setup, get a couple -10 or -20 db pads
and see if you still have the problem.

Cheers
Anton
