or this is a a D.I. with instrument pre inside, i.e. a "line driver", making it output a normal balanced LINE level (600ohm), that can go straight to A/D converters?
im hoping, presuming, its the latter... an example of such type of device is Avalon U5, which has both MIC and LINE outputs, so u can use it with a pre afterwards, or just go direct, depending which sound you prefer.

These DI preamps are active or passive . The passive needs an external microphone preamp source and the active works normal .
Phoenix Audio Nice DI is active .
As an example ,
Radial JDI is passive and needs an external mic preamp source . A mic preamp input...
