Just an FYI:  It is rather easy to overdrive something in the D/A conversion when using high output gain settings on the Send/Return loop.  The device I connected is designed for +4dBu input, so I cranked the send gain to hit it hard and keep out of the noise floor.  This resulted in some hideous crackling sounds.  Scared the daylights out of me (thought it was a cracked speaker) until I tracked it down!  Backing off to about 80 on the send seems to have banished it.
