DI box, dull and distorted guitar sound.

I recently bought a Radial Engineering PRO DI 2 to split my guitar signal.
I hook up my guitar to one input, and use an XLR that goes into the interface (Steinberg UR22). This works as expected, a clean and nice DI sound. However, as soon as I plug another cable into the "thru" jack, even if it's not connected to anything, the sound gets dulled and slightly distorted. I've tried using the -15 db pad function and different settings on the UR22.. nothing works.

After a long time spent trouble shooting, I still can't fix the issue and I really don't know why it happens... I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, or have bought the wrong DI box for my purposes...

Anyone knows what obvious rookie mistake I'm doing here?

Thanks in advance!
