Again, I must thank you very much for this detailled answer. You are a person of great advice, and though I'm really new to the field of Hifi, I managed to understand all of what you said (at least I think so..)
Cable lengh won't be a problem, I have kept it between 6 and 10 feet actually.
I've emailed Scandyna about the input impedance of the sub, I'll see what they say about it.
Fortunately, the shanling and the primaluna don't seem to be a mismatch, at least !!
I understand now that I can't take the risk of not connecting speakers (or a resistance) to the Shanling. But the fact that there is a pre-out still leaves me wondering. How do normal people like me do, who have no knowledge of physics ?? I mean, I read the manual, and it was clearly specified that the pre-out was to welcome a power amp if needed. How should I know that it will fry the Shanling if I really do so ! It's mad.. There might be a built in systeme as you say, but who would want to take the risk ?!
