Here's how I think it works. i think that the reference level is the input voltage that will cause the converter to output 0dbFS. Do we agree about that?

Yes, a pro piece of gear with a reference level of +4dBu will read 0VU on the meters of another pro piece of gear.
When I got a Mic Pre (DAV), I had it modded so that the peak level RED LED lights up at +19dbu, which is the peak level of my Fireface 800 inputs.
Hope this helps-- rock on!
