Are you guys running XLR out (line) > mini TRS (1/8") m10/r09? How quiet is the gain at max?
I run X2 MIC out (1/8") mini to MIC in min (hi sens) on M10 for a small package.  ~4.5 gain on M10 let's me know that -9 on the X2 = -9 on the M10.  I run the faders on the X2 in the 9-12 o'clock position for most situations.  A bit higher for quiet stuff.

I've never run it near max gain, so I can't say.  I pad the inputs as well. 

YMMV

I run a Darktrain cable that takes my XLR line out to mini TRS which feeds the line in on my R-09HR.  I've never turned the gain to "max" because there is so much gain available that I'd blow the levels on my recorder.  I'll give it a try with headphones, though, and let you know what I hear.  I've never noticed any hiss or self-noise from the Wendt on any recordings.  It's very quiet.  You can call us crazy, but down here in Albuquerque we shelved a V3 when we started running the Wendt.  We still pull out the V3 for its digi-out capability once in a while. 
Now you see it:  ADK 51TL,  or MK4/41>KC5>CMC6, or AT4051b/4049a > Wendt X2 > R-09HR
Now you don't:   CA-14c  or DPA4061 > CA ST-9100 > R-09HR

beeco got any LMA links with the mk4/mk41>wendt?

Dang, Bean, I was afraid someone was gonna ask me that.  I've figured out the etree torrent upload work flow but never sat myself down and figured out how to upload to LMA.  I'll find a recording we did with the Schoeps and the Wendt and seed it, or use it to get the LMA upload process nailed down.  I know I've got some RockyGrass recordings from a couple of years ago that were MK4>X2>R-09HR.  I'd love to get one of those uploaded and see what you think.
