I use a KVM switch for my computer. Is there something like this to be able to not have to unplug my dac and other one in and same for amp?

For testing and use. I have 2 Dacs and three amps and want to make easily interchangeable between each other. I'm sure there has to be something, just not sure what it would be called.

Thanks in advance

> Schitt Bifrost 2


I have a three amps
> Burson Soloist 3x
> Darkvoice
> Topping A90 which I might not keep

You want to look into buying a RCA or XLR switcher/splitter—probably a “passive” one so it does not affect your audio chain.

Personally, I recommend looking at Douk Audio offerings, as they have been measured to have no impact on the sound between your Amps/DACs.

Here’s some examples:
Hope that helps.
