JJ500 - Are you sure you don't have a fundamental misunderstanding of what insert points are supposed to be? Some of your statements don't make sense ...

The insert jacks on the rear will be TRS ... they are not "balanced" ... they are mono out and mono in, just sharing the same jack to save space. You can't use a TRS cable ... you have to get a very specifically wired TRS to TS (x2) cable.

The signal flow will be this: microphone input > internal Mic preamp > mono insert OUT > your unbalanced mono external analog chain > mono insert IN > internal ADC ...

When you say you can get any audio OUT ... were you putting any audio IN (to the mic preamp input?)

There is absolutely no need for "insert points" on the DAC outputs, because the Out is already Out ...

So if you were wanting to send digital audio Out to interface with analog and then back in again, you just use the Outs and Ins ... no need for Inserts.
