Well, if your system is calibrated to -18dbFS=0dbvu, then if you track at levels between -10 and 0 in your DAW (like a lot of people do), then if you turn down all your playback faders by 10 db (to -10) when mixing on a console, then you'll be hitting the consoles line inputs somewhere between -2 and +8dbvu, which is prime range for most consoles line inputs. This also leaves you room to play with in either direction if you desire. That *cough*bullshit*cough* about degrading your converters by turning down the audio a little bit is...well...bullshit.
Do as you wish though...of course.
