That's the wrong way to go anyway. You need to sort out the line level outputs for the best quality. It really isn't difficult to attenuate the signal - a 10k resistor in series followed by a 2.2k resistor across the input is all you need. You can lash it up with a choc block connector if you can't solder, or even just twist the wires together.

The DIN output may be low enough to make the problem go away though.
