No, unity gain would apply only to line in not mic in. If you are using an external preamp like the CA-9100 or littlebox and have the M10 at less than 5-6 (or whatever unity really is) then you are attenuating the signal coming from your preamp.
I believe that is an assumption based on the headphone output jack levels, so it may not be correct.
And, regadless, I haven't seen anyone post that they've tested what setting sounds best. So from that perspective, "unity" is a fantasy.
Does the tape out on the 722 attenuate the signal at all? I could record to the 722 and plug in the M10 to the tape out for a comparison.
EDIT: looks like it attenuates the signal by -10dB. I don't have any TA3 cables or I'd try the analog out.
