Burn in Step up transformer with ipod.

Here is question for you guys. There are cd products out there that reduces the output of CD players to low levels so that they can burn in phonostages and step up transformers safely.

Most cs players output between 2-4 volts which can damage phono step ups. With an ipod, the headphone output is 30mv. If i pay a track via the ipod and connecting it to a step up transformer with rca and play at low volumes, wouldnt it be the same thing as what these products do?

I just got a Zesto Alleso SUT from an indvidual on A'Gon that has virtually zero hours on it.  I am burning it in using the output of my PC and a Youtube white noise video turned way,way down.  I measure the output signal on my voltmeter at .5mv so I assume this will be OK.  I know that seems really low but the volume on my soundcard is set at 1 (1-100 scale) so it's as low as it goes w/o being completely mute.
Does this sound like it will be OK?
Thanks.
