AES/EBU Digital input sensitivity

My setup is is Vortexbox running LMS > Logitech transporter > Balanced XLR to Devialet 220 Pro.

I'm finding that the levels of some recordings are quite high, and If I look at the input level on the Devialet the level bars are nudging into the red nearing 0dB. There is no noticable clipping of the signal, but I'm wondering if there is a way to reduce the input level sensitivity.

The problem is not in the hardware but in the recordings. A considerable number of recordings, most pop music ones it seems, are compressed right up to limiters set near 0dB. They have almost no dynamic range and are mixed for earphones and cars not domestic quality hifi.
They won't be any audible clipping, just very little dynamic range - it is the way it is mixed and released and nothing can be done about it. There have been a lot of very poor quality recordings released over the last 10 to 15 years unfortunately.
