He exported to a 32 bit floating point wave file that he re-imported. It was first when he turned down the volume that it wasn´t distorted (he doesn´t show the waveform before he has turned down the volume).

Bring the volume down -18 you will see an undistorted sine wave.

The mastering process to anything but a 32 bit float format is when you need to worry about clipping.

So mixdowns to CD quality is a big NO NO...
