A professional's humble advice, ignore freely.

1) Find someone (a first year student can do it for you) that can asemble a simple system with this switch:
https://www.elma.com/en/Products/Ro...audio-switch--8-wafers--12-positions-12822924
It will sound unbelievably better than "Khozmo", "Galaxy", "Universe ++", at less than half the price.
Said switch in particular being easily found from a certain German distributor, online purchase too, zero effort.

2) Never, ever go for passive pre-amps.
Find a local dealer of respected brands (not the Chinese imports advertised here) and ask him why a pre-amp needs to be active.

No association with Elma, just an old fart having some time, thinking why not, let's give some advice.
Warm wishes, sincerely.

** And no association with foreign distributors either, i don't live in Germany! :)

I own the Khozmo passive and the Hattor active tube stage and for the money this is the best of the best. Not sure if @LostHisMarbles has ever heard Arek's line of products but a passive is the best for not adding color and letting the music be the music. I can't praise Hattor's / Khozmo products anymore and no I am not affiliated, I am just a happy user.

I can whole heartedly recommend the Hattor. I have the Big passive preamp with all the options including the buffer (Which I recommend as well as it is like having 4 preamps LOL). Hope you find one.

I think you will hardly find a used one honestly.
I recommend dropping a mail to the manufacturer service and kindly asking for a B stock / black Friday offer...

Just want to say that I am very happy with my Khozmo units, which have gone into various projects i've built (DIYer, not manufacturer). Top notch help, and for what they are very fair pricing with great sound quality. I have compared with DACT and other stepped resistors and most have too few steps and leave gaps in the volume (literally have a un-used dact sitting in my parts bin). The Khozmo units with 64 steps have more than enough precision, and sound incredible.

They also look incredible, and have a clicky volume knob. Amazing preamps.
