Taking orders :)

That is something that I have considered. A way to bypass the preamp without it having to be on if possible.

We will see, I am waiting to see what happens with a few things before I go after this further.

If the DAC is limited to a single pair of outputs will using an RCA splitter reduce the sound quality?  I have both a SEX and Stereomour which I plan to use with with the DAC.

Tom,

If I were you I'd use a second set of output rcas and a 4pdt switch to switch between them -- switches both hot and ground for both outputs -- you would'nt want a dirty ground from one device to spoil the other, if such a condition existed in your gear.

I wouldn't sweat it, splitters should work great.

If only somebody would design a switchbox kit to match our amps *hint hint*

Couldnt the Submissive work like that?

[Evan]

The Submissive allows for 3 inputs and one output. I have the same issue as I use a Crack and a Stereomour with the same DAC. I built a small switchbox using a project box with one input and two outputs and a 4PDT switch. I'm planning on building it into the BH Dac if there is enough underhood real estate. If I remember correctly there wasn't too much underneath to get in the way.

So you want us to design a kit that serves the same function as some RCA splitters?

Any update or refined estimate(s) on the DAC kit price?

We should have a price pretty soon. There are still a few items we need to do costing for.

Better than that. Ideally i would want 2-3 inputs, and 2-3 outputs, and i would want the ground lines switched too so all the devices attached are disconnected from each other unless in use.  Basically a knob to pick your source, and a knob to pick your destination, mounted in a chassis the size of the Fix would be ideal.  The hardware from the quickie would be good enough for me, but leave enough room to upgrade to goldpoint switches if somebody wanted to.

Maybe i'm the only one with a need for such a thing, i seem to be constantly re patching RCA cables switching from speaker amp to headphone amp, DAC, to Set top TV box, to computer etc..

[Doc B.]

You really want a patch bay.

I'm with you on that one. It'd be great to have a kit like this that provides lots of input / output flexibility without any significant degradation of signal.

[Paul Joppa]

Well a switchbox like that would be easy enough. Two 4P3T switches with knobs, a dozen RCA jacks, and some wire.

I'll even design the circuit and write the manual, for free. Switch positions 1-2-3-4-5-6 are hot1, hot2, hot3, ground1, ground2, ground3 for one channel. The other channel is the same using positions 7-8-9-10-11-12. Duplicate for the output switch. Connect the switches to each other, A-A, B-B, C-C, D-D. OK, my part's done.  :^)

Thanks Paul! Let's get back on the topic of hounding the BH team to get this product to market . Happy Holidays to the BH team and family!
