hey John2525, I run my 480's into a UA5 that only has the digimod and its the best unit I have paired with mics with of the UA5/V3/MiniMe combos (V3 was way too transparent, MiniMe was way way too bassy), and it makes beautiful recordings, I suggest just picking up a used digimod unit and you are set, to hear the results stream my STS9 show off archive.org from 2-15-05; made using no bass roll off, DIN, FOB, easily one of the best recordings I have ever made, it might work for you as well, and cheap, my unit was only $285 with batteries, charger, cord, box, manual, delivered
