Thanks. I followed Kal's advice and contacted ML.
Here is their response:
"Yes, this configuration will cause problems and is not recommended; doing this will:
· Place the output stages of the DAC and the preamp in parallel with each other.
·Place an uneven load on the XRL input.
While these conditions will probable not damage the No. 336 or the DAC/preamp the sound quality of all three will be negatively affected."
