I have a single source (DAC) and want to run it into a preamp/power amp and into a separate, dedicated headphone amp.
Only problem is that there is only one non-variable output on the DAC.
If I use a 1 male to 2 rca female splitter, will this;

(a) degrade sound quality in any way
(b) lower the output power of the DAC

Note that i’ll only ever be using the headphone amp and pre/power amp independently of one another, so only one of the “split” outputs will ever be in use at a given time.

If this is all OK, what is a good quality splitter jack?

I split it after a member here recommended it and I didn't notice a drop in quality. I never turn on my speakers or my headphone amp at the same time. I used this one:

2,Audio Right Angle RCA Adapter Splitter Male-to-Female - eBay (item 290265853903 end time Sep-30-09 22:16:04 PDT)

no cable involved, just a straight up splitter.

for 4.99 it's worth a try. I'd let my own ears judge if there's a drop in quality.
