We’re bringing some of these splitter boxes to the Bay Area HiFiCon tomorrow to make A/B testing multiple DACs and amps as painless as possible. I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with them, and we’re wondering if we should make one of our own that’s cheaper and more feature-rich than the ones currently on the market. Let us know if that interests you. And if so, what features you’d like to see.

I’m a layman, but if I have a DAC/Amp setup for my headphones and a second one for a set of speakers, could I quickly switch between the two using this? Does it have any impact on the actual sound quality or otherwise?

I have a few Little Bears myself. Makes it easy to switch between gear, and there’s no discernible sound impact.

Nice. Thank you. Is there anything spec wise you wish it did or didn’t do?
