You do not need a direct box or any sort of transformer adapter. If the audio interface for your DAW uses TRS for balanced inputs and outputs, then simply use regular unbalanced 1/4" TS cables. I have done this numerous times and have never had any problems. If your audio interface uses XLR, you might have to build cables. http://www.rane.com/note110.html You could also buy adapter cables from numerous places, such as Markertek. I would only consider lifting grounds, or some other alternative, if you discover a problem.
