tracks mixed down in cubase to -0.10db showing up louder in wavelab

If you investigate, I think you’ll find many mastering engineers keep -1 dB as a limit for True peaks in the highest format (usually .wav with various SRs and bit depths). And that would be to mitigate peaking as a result of mp3 conversion or deterioration from streaming services. Look at the global analysis function in WL, where you can see both True and Digital peak values for the same file.
