why 'digital' limiters in converters

this is actually from an OT question i raised in another thread...

can anybody tell me why there are analog and digital limiters in certain converters? the lavry converters and the new rme adi 8-qs feature these... whats the point of limiting after the signal is converted to digital? i'm under the impression that limiting during conversion is used only to prevent clipping the a/d converter, pre conversion of course...

thanks,

self.
