Two parts post this. First I just want to show off my first DIY project :-) I built this primarily because I wanted to be able to switch easily between two inputs ( two different DACS ) as well as two outputs ( one headphone amp and a speaker amp ), but whats been really interesting has been actually playing around with the thing. Anyway - I've built a few of my own interconnects before, so I thought I'd have a go at building this thing myself. Even made up the hook-up wire myself... Bit of a soldering and wire routing nightmare, but it came out really I well think - works perfectly - I'm chuffed to bit with it!
The second part which has been a minor revelation - has been being able to flick instantly between various bits of kit / cables without having to constantly swap headphones, pull and swap various interconnects etc, and having to FF and RW through various tracks. I won't post what I've found for fear of causing a disturbance in the force, but lets just say that if you regularly find yourself testing and trying to compare various bits of kit - you should build yourself one of these things - it might end up saving you quite a bit of money.
Cool eh?! Now, what can I build next?!
