RCA input switching among sound sources

Hi all,

 

I'm writing to ask for advice on switching among sound sources when the amp has only one RCA input.

 

I have now one CD Player and one DAC, to hoop up with my headphone amp. However, my headphone has only one pair of RCA input. I'll have to plug and unplug the cables to switch between the two source, which is a little bit inconvenient.

 

Is there a good solution for switching between the two source without plug and unpluging the cables? I know there are something like the RCA switch, for example:

 

http://www.walmart.com/ip/RCA-2-Way-Coaxial-Cable-Switch/11600137

 

but I'm not sure whether this will become the weakest part of the whole system, and degrades the sound quality. Is there a good solution Hifi-wise?

 

Thanks.popcorn.gif

These are a bit more expensive than the Walmart thing, but this company has reliably good products and is very helpful. You should be able to find what you're looking for on this page:  http://phonopreamps.com/index.html#Selectors (down towards the bottom under "Speaker and Source Selectors").
