In my office I have a mac mini, a gaming pc w/ asus xonar essence stx and an hp work laptop.  I'm looking for a device that can switch between these three input sources as well as two output sources - Audioengine A2 speakers and Senn hd 650 cans.  My soldering skills leave a lot to be desired so i'm looking for a quality commercial product.  Is anything like this available?

Thanks for the recommendation.  The PreSonus looks like a very nice piece of equipment, but the $600 price tag is a bit more than I was hoping to spend for input/output switching.  The other option i'm considering is a more traditional a/v receiver to handle the switching.  For example an Onkyo TX-8050 can be bought for < $250 on amazon and includes 2 coax, 2 optical and 6 rca inputs plus dual speaker and of course headphone output.  The only part i'm unsure about is whether I can bypass the built-in amp so it acts only as a switch.  Will audio quality suffer?  Am I headed down the wrong path here?
