 I get what you're saying -  get the attenuators to cool the signal go XLR in - but I'm not sure the XLr's are active when you switch to line input.

According to the manual - both the xlr and rca inputs are active at the same time regardless of the setting of the analog input switch.

So you should be fine going xlr in. I have heard though, that using the xlr as a line input essentially attenuates the signal so as to not overload the mic pre. Apparantly, the rca line in does not do this - I have always been told that it is better to use the rca - but I do not really know for sure...

 yes I read that you get a +4dB reference using XLR with line in setting. In the manual it refers to the analog/digital switch activating both sets of inputs and not the line/mic switch.
