AES INPUT clipping early?

skunc

Experienced
I'm using the AES input into the AxeIII. At -6dbfs into the AxeIII it begins to clip. Has anyone else experienced this?
 
The AES interface is just digitally transferring audio data from the source to the Axe-FX, it should be totally transparent. Where is it coming from, and are you sure it's not clipping at the A/D conversion stage?
 
Using an Axe III as a tone generator and setting the AES output level at -.1
(checking this with a Digico) then running into a second Axe3 AES in. The second unit's input clips. The Digico was not fond for this either.

I did this test with the Axient AES out and had the same result.
