Confussed!

Here is my problem, recording a sine wave through my mixer, soundcard, and into my DAW. All at unity gain 0dB. Recorded the signal and then played it back out the DAW at 0dB into the mixer at unity gain on the channel pre and unity gain on the channel fader. I was then getting +7dB on my master buss. Somehow, somewhere between leaving the computer and entering the mixer there had been an increase in gain and i had no idea where it came from!
Heres some pics, (poor quality i know)

So i searched the internet for answers and didn't really find one, i even posted a question on gearslutz forum about it, lots of views but no replies!
I finally stumbled upon a document on http://www.popmusic.dk/links-us.html titled Levels in Digital Audio so i had a read and discovered this. From © 2010 Popmusic.dk, written by Holger Lagerfeldt.
So problem solved!
