what if I wanted to add a third input to my Quickie...

[Paul Birkeland]

Do you now get the same voltages when you now switch to the 3rd channel with your power switch on?

[WK3K]

I get the same voltage readings regardless of which channel (1-3) I set the rotary to. They all seem to be within normal limits for the PJCCS quickie.

I would test the DAC independently from the Quickie.

[WK3K]

Thanks Paul! I was going to update this last night, but it looks like the site was down. I have been poking around at the DAC and have gotten it to play (sporadically). Anyhow, I'm satisfied that the problem is with the DAC and not with the quickie and that this approach for adding an extra channel is sound. I appreciate the help!

This one would probably work.  It can be somewhat difficult at times to tell if a toggle switch has a momentary position on it or not.

You'll have to analyze the datasheet and pay careful attention to the "external connection" reference therein.

OK, I'm finally gonna try this. The part linked to here is no longer available. Can someone point me to a switch that would fit where the existing switch is already mounted in the Quickie. My plan is to add RCA jacks between the input and output jacks.

Also, the switch linked to here is a DP3T switch. Is that what I need? or is it a 2P3T switch?

[Grainger49]

DP3T is Double Pole Tripple Throw.  Those are one and the same.

OK, so if I get one of those, plus two extra RCAs, then I should be good to go? Just wiring to stress over?

I see there are six terminals to wire, which I assume means two of these will take the inputs *and* one of the sets of three outputs.

I added 3 switched outputs to my submissive.
This might help with your decision:

Well, I really don't know what I'm doing here, but I think this should work:

The wiring is another issue. Anyone be so kind as to link to the RCA jacks I should get at Mouser?

[4krow]

 I don't do much business with Mouser, but I have found some RCA jacks that are quite a deal at Ebay. They are offered by Manley Labs for $5 each. I have been using them for awhile now with no regrets.

Well, I want to just make one order, and hopefully save on shipping, too.
These look right. Unless someone says "wait! those won't work!" I'm gonna order these:

[denti alligator]

Ok, ordered these. If anyone wants to have a look at the data sheet for the switch
http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/295/MtogglesBushing-31423.pdf
and give me some advice on wiring, I would be grateful. My head is already reeling trying to make heads and tails of it.

[denti alligator]

OK, got my switch (M2044 is the model). I would be very grateful for any pointers on wiring! I really don't know what I'm doing here.

Picture should help.

My guess:

line out = 2(red)/8(black)

RCA(1) in = 6(red)/12(black)

RCA(2) in = 4(red)/10(black)

RCA(3) in = 1(red)/7(black)

I take it "external connection" means I need to solder in a jumper wire?

How many pins on your switch?

It's the one circled in the picture. 12.
