Magni Heresy? You're actually not fine, only the new Magni + and Magni Heretic have built-in DC protection, the originals were directly DC coupled and an 'accident' is not entirely impossible (although very unlucky).

The extra little circuit might explain the price rise over $99..

You have two kinds, one that leaves the other pin floating and one that will tie it to shield(which will short it). The latter is better used for RCA>XLR, the first for XLR>RCA. Both will only carry half of a balanced 4V voltage.

You need something like this

And not this

Benchmark cables are expensive though, note these are not sold as pairs.
