how do you know that given there is no means to access
the samples directly, without being gain-staged by
the engine itself?

my guess is the samples are at full scale (or close to
it), and that -14dbFS you are experiencing is a function
of the scaled back digital headroom.

as always, I could be wrong! ;)
