It's been a while since I posted anything, largely because things have been parked for quite a bit. However, I've started up the subwoofer build again, of which more on another post, and also looked at the critical problem of Input Selection.
Basically, the miniDSP has a single set of stereo inputs, and it's quite likely that we need more than one source. Right now, switching sources (mostly between the RPi/DAC and the CD player) is performed in the analogue domain by (simply?! no...) unplugging/plugging the appropriate set of cables, whilst keeping the right stereo L/R relationships, not getting confused about the right sockets to use etc. Dull. So...
Here's the current situation, and a possible super-simple solution...
To that end, I've ordered a well-reviewed analogue 3-1 switch box and a few 1m RCA-RCA cables. Let's start with this...
