its round 70 euro which is totally OK for what it looks like I think. (I think the hp is german only, sorry for that)ĭynavox is german company - device looks pretty solid - gold connectors etc. Same is true for decware of (I have never heard of decware) the sescom that mentioned ( and I´ve seen it quite a few times in other US based reviews) is not available in EU. so I started looking for a switch and am still asking myself " will I sacrifice quality introducing this thing into the chain?" well wellīeing in EU. facing the same problem with the exact same question. If you're comfortable doing a little soldering, you can build a box for a lot less than I spent by sourcing less expensive RCA jacks.įor reference, I've attached a few images. What I gained was the ability to drive any one of my three amps with the turn of a dial. I have listened both with and without the switch box in the circuit and can detect no difference. For wiring, I used what was left of a 2M pair of solid silver balanced interconnect I repurposed to make three pair of single-ended interconnects. In the end, I decided to build my own and ordered a Hammond enclosure, DH Labs RCA jacks (4 pr.) and an Elma selector switch. The best of what's available appeared to me to be from Decware and Goldpoint. I researched and found offerings to be scarce. I've got a Sescom but found it a bit inconvenient and limited (though I heard no appreciable sound degradation).
#5 WAY RCA SPLITTER PRO#
In my case, I'm going from an iMac Pro via USB to a Benchmark DAC3 DX to one of three amps: the Bottlehead Crack/Speedball, Bottlehead Mainline or Koss ESP-950. I wanted the same flexibility as the OP in choice of amp. So my question is, are RCA switches known to degrade audio quality? Do audiophiles stay away from using them? But at the same time, prior to using RCA switches, I was disconnecting and reconnecting the RCA cables to switch amps which was eventually going to wear out the RCA cable and the RCA output of the amp over time. But I prefer to not take any risk in potentially worsening audio quality by using RCA switches. So far, I haven't noticed any degradation in audio quality.
#5 WAY RCA SPLITTER UPGRADE#
To get the 'multibit magic' from higher fidelity songs, I've heard that you need to upgrade to Gungnir or Yggdrasil.
#5 WAY RCA SPLITTER PLUS#
I try to make sure all of my musics on Audirvana Plus is 16-bit/44.1khz since I've heard that Schiit modi multibit only performs the 'multibit magic' on that bitrate.I went with 6ft Coaxial cable because of the potential reflection from cables shorter than 1.5m theoretically:.
I've also done other things to maximise audio quality: Mac mini > Tidal/Audirvana Plus > Audioquest Forest USB A to B > Schiit Elitr > BLJ Coaxial 6ft > Schiit Modi Multibit > 3ft BJC RCA > Sescom A/B switcher > 3ft BLJ RCA to Darkvoice 336SE & 6ft BLJ RCA to Jotunheim
HD600's clear mids seems to pair better with DarkVoice, while HD650's pronounced bass seems to pair better with Jotunheim. I'm using my Sennheiser HD600 for the DarkVoice and HD650 with 4pin XLR for Jotunheim. I've decided to use two amps because Rock, Rap and Vocal songs tend to sound better on DarkVoice while EDM tend to sound better on Jotunheim. I switch between DarkVoice 336SE and Schiit Jotunheim.
