I use socket savers and I haven't had that issue.

Thanks. Never considered them. Will do now.

LOL, I like that its explained how to use it as a switch and volume knob... separately hahaha

Since it's passive, I'm wondering if it's possible to use it in reverse, so 1 in and 2 out. I have a feeling it might be.

I have an email in to Shiit asking that very same question. I'll post an answer as soon as I have one.

 

[fenderf4i]

The reply I received is "Nope, unfortunately not. There's only one set of input jacks."
 
Other passive switching boxes I've used can be used either way, just like any cable. Maybe the volume pot has something to do with it? We'll have to try it once we receive them.

 

[AK7579]

This is the reply I got:
 
"I guess you could use it backwards with the volume pot all the way up as just a switch. But why not just use RCA Y-cables?"
 
Seems like there are different opinions on the matter.

I think what Schiit is saying that you can not drive two outputs at once. Most of the RCA switch boxes that I have seen with two outs means that it will drive two outputs at the same time.

It's not "driving" anything, it's passive. Will have to just wait and try it.
