Aaargh. Trapped. Of course, this is true, most DI boxes come with XLR output
sockets because they are supposed to hook up with analog mixers. I can easily
build an adapter cable to drop the reverse phase signal, but to assume that
everyone else can was silly... sorry for that.

Hmm, my M Audio 1010LT comes with two XLR inputs but no instrument inputs. You can
jumper them for different input gain, but that doesn't help with impedance.
