Elektron Musical Instruments

I wrote to them and received this response:
Hello!

To comfort you (or scare perhaps?) I can let you know that the SID is 
usually not fried from too high input volumes, but from static 
discharges. So try to avoid these by grounding the cable before 
inserting it into the SidStation.

Best regards,
Daniel Hansson, Elektron
