I would like to split an XLR output of a dac to go to a preamp and headphone amp, still in XLR. Something simple that doesn't distort or attenuate the mess ....
I found this that might be suitable? : https://www.thomann.de/fr/radial_engineering_lx_2.htm

A bit expensive though, and it would need two, maybe better ideas?

Thanks, best.

You could start simple and use an XLR Y cable like this one or others: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/YMXF2XM1--pro-co-1-foot-ymxf2xm-1-xlrf-to-2-xlrm-y-cable
In certain situations this can cause issues, for example with the Schiit Yggdrasil and a destination device that shorts its inputs when not used/off, causing distortion in the other connected device.
Also, this will lower the volume a bit.

Next there are pure passive XLR output switches without anything else like an attenuator. An affordable solution would be the Nobsound MC103 Pro 3-Out, they also have a variant with connectors in the front and back, which would bug me.
A highly regarded, but rather pricy option is the Goldpoint SW2X-O.

If you find an option with an IR remote, let me know...

Great! Good information, thank you.

For Y-cables though, I had understood that it could cause impedance problems.

Oi!
Eu preciso de ajuda.
Comprei um Gustard X18 e uso a saída RCA para alimentar o amplificador de fone de ouvido Topping L30.
Pretendo usar a saída XLR para alimentar meu amplificador DIY Classe AB que não possui a placa de entrada do conversor XLR que inverte o sinal negativo e adiciona ao sinal positivo, dobrando a tensão entregue ao amplificador, o que aumenta a separação de canais, gerando maior dinâmica, resultando em um palco sonoro mais amplo e profundo.
Comprei a placa no link abaixo na china, mas não sei se é linear ou se distorce.
Alguém pode recomendar uma placa receptora XLR (somador inversor) que seja neutra?
Obrigado pela ajuda antecipadamente.
