P,Good luck on the girfriend front. The potetnial is that the wants and needs will get even worse when they become wifes. Unless you pick a really good one, like I did.
Anyhow, I don't think there is a need for that passive line stage.
I know the text books say that one shouldn't use digital volume controls, but if you tried using the Lynx 2bs direct in to an amp, I doubt you would even consider adding a passive.
Maybe it is because of outputting 32bits in Foobar, but all that loosing bits and resolution just doesn't shake out in practice.
Said another way, spending the money on better amps and speakers will yeild a better sound than running lessor quality speakers and amps through a passive.
BUt, you could buy the 2b run it direct, and then buy a passive...just make sure you can return it, which I suspect you will.
