Chili, I think you are underestimating the technical expertise of the designer at DB Systems. The kits are meant to be used in conjunction with a phono stage that has a fixed input resistance of 47K ohms. For other fixed input resistances, I suppose they can provide custom values, but as you intimate, the final net resistance of two or more resistors in parallel can never be higher than that of the lowest value resistor in the parallel grouping. Most audiophiles know this, let alone all EEs. I don't think it's "widely believed" that resistances in parallel are additive.
By the way, SUTs cannot have a "fixed" input impedance. Transformers do not per se have an impedance. The device on the primary side sees an impedance equal to that of the device on the secondary side divided by the turns ratio of the transformer. I guess you know all this, but your post makes me wonder what load you are presenting to your Hana. For the Hana to "see" a load of 100 ohms, using a SUT with a 1:10 turns ratio, the resistance on the secondary side must be 10,000 ohms. Is that the case? If the turns ratio is other than 1:10, then take the square of that turns ratio and multiply it by 100 ohms to find the value of the resistor on the secondary side, at the input of the phono stage, which would give a 100-ohm load to the Hana.
On paper, 100 ohms should not be optimal for the Hana SL, with its internal resistance of 30 ohms, but you like what you like.
