IMHO every playback software having volume control can handle this.
In case of recordings with insufficient headroom, a reconstruction filter will generate values in excess of the equivalent voltage representing 0 dBFS.
The only thing you have to do is lower the digital volume with 4 dB.
Just like they lower the volume with -6 dB in case of DSD to avoid overloading the converter.
