Practical hifi? Frugal audiophile? I live on my sailboat...things have to be easily powered, durable, versatile, comfortable and still sound great.

Thanks, I'm happy with it....I always wanted to live on a boat, and I have been intrigued by the X2 since they came out...I turned 50 this year....for my birthday I got myself the boat and for Christmas I got the X2hr and both of them were a steal.

Good suggestion. Can you reverse to function as 4 outputs? For high quality, there's also the Decware Zen, and this DIY option. I bought this cheapie pictured in my rig in the previous post. There is a little bit of channel bleed, but doesn't seem to degrade the signal much. I was going to rewire it, but is circuit board wired inside.
The Switch Box S have a combination of 3,5mm and RCA connections, so I can not test all possibilities.

But connecting a pair of powered speakers on input 3 and my PC sending sinal to output 2 works. If I change the "input" the speakers stop playing. I assume the PC signal would be playing on the other "inputs".

If I connect the speaker cable to "input" 5, then it plays the PC signal when I choose that "input".

So, it seams that it will work as you want.

NOTE: the Switch Box S is discontinued, might be a little hard to find one to buy. Good luck. If you can't find it, there is a portuguese store with one demo unit on a good price. Let me know If you need any help.

My new year resolution is to add a DNA stratus and a Grado in my 4th headphone system which will be my end game and that will be it for me! Done! will be moving on to speakers afterwards.

My updated main station. I'm making use of some old gear that I thought I would never use again. I now have my computer, my DAP, and a vintage Pioneer CD player all running through a simple DAC (upgrade pending) in to the Loki into the Elise.

I don't recall when or where I picked up the DAC. It's a very cheap unit that I think I paid around $30. It does the job for now, but I think I'll pick up an older Bifrost when one comes available.
