My 3rd order distortion traces on DM780 disappear if I keep my line out gain at 3 or less. My AGC is not quite default and I have not run the tests at default AGC but clearly it is possible to keep 3rd order effects on my K3 under control. The manual says to keep line out gain less than 10, I suspect that is probably not a good number. What you see on line out has little to do with what you hear in the speaker as you correctly noted the amplifiers are different.
