i use the heb setup.
the batt box supplies power it does not apply gain, thus it is a power supply only, not a preamp...
i have my cable setup terminate in 2x RCA male jacks, as i use my mSBM-1 line-in exclusively...
as for the anti-cs stuff...
personally, i have done business with len over the years. the stuff works and it ships on time, so i am not in constant contact with anyone over there. i do know that when i have had questions, i have called and asked to speak to len (he usually answered the phone), and he was nothing but helpful to me. he didnt kiss my a$$, but he wasnt rude, he didnt lie, he always delivered. i would not hesitate to do business with him/c-s again, nor would i hesitate to call him again and ask him a question. if you are looking for the 406x setup, you should certainly consider the c-s setup; in fact i recommend it...
to not use the cs heb system, you have to use the microdots. those things are friggin' tiny. i certainly wouldnt want to be d*cking around with that stuff in the dark, in cognito, etc... and they are hella-fragile, and expensive, too... just too much to go wrong with there. the cs-heb plug a minixlr to the batt box, and then two RCA male for my mSBM-1 line-in (i will say i hate the miniplug interface 'cos it is fragile, too; i know alot of you are gonna run miniplug out, but there are other options)...
if you do the dpa/microdot way, i would ONLY do so if you knew you wanted the preamp 'cos you needed more gain. this will be with symphony, acoustic recording; if this is your purpose, get that 4060 mics, microdot connetectoins and that snazzy dpa preamp (which truly is a fanatastic piece of equipment). if you are only recording amplified music, i would go with the heb system...
