""It is not favorable for the sound quality to decrease the output level from this unit too much. Use these keys for coordination with other line
levels.""
Ultimately it's up to your ears, I like the idea of a passive linestage too when an active preamp with gain is not needed like in your case. I use a passive myself.

I remember reading that from the manual as well. I might still have it around somewhere. But they don't mention what "too much" might be; here, I decrease by 10dB and it seems to be fine... you can go all the way down to -70dB or more(?)... plus they don't say WHY. I guess i will use it like this for now, and maybe order some inline attenuators when i'm a bit less tight with cash.
OK that's it then, if you don't hear negative affects then good. Also now that I know it attenuates into the 70's, 10-20 should be fine. Digital volume controls become bad when they reduce a lot not so bad when reducing a little. I think you're fine.
