I think when Dan was talking about listening to M/S
when monitoring I got the impression he meant he was
listening to the M/S mics directly. Meaning he would
hear the M mic in one ear and the S mic in the other,
I may be wrong but that is the impression I got. You
don't have to decode to left and right for monitoring
when recording. Which is why I presume Dan said he
liked to do it that way as he did not want to undermod
the S signal.
As regards jack's or RCA's your best option is to make
your own leads up, or buy them, with XLR's one end to
connect to your mixer and RCA's, quarter inch TRS
jacks or the 3.5mm jacks the other. If using a Sound
Devices mixer you only connect to pins 1 and 2 of the
XLR by the way.
