Ooops, iPhone is right, it would be potentially risky to use the QED, as it is possible to connect together the two amps. I should have read closer. I had a QED switch years ago and when you chose one output, the other switched popped out making it safe for this purpose. Oh well.
As Phil said, if you are adept at a bit of soldering you should be able to make a switch. What happens with a lot of high end products is they have a unity gain pre-amp input to the stereo, that is not controlled by the volume control. In that case you can connect line level outs from the AV Receiver and always have the correct balance between the speakers when using 5.1 or 7.1. I looked through the specs of your receiver, and the line level out is not supported, neither is the unity gain option on the Arcam. The unity gain bit is less of an obstacle, but the lack of line level outs on the Sony is a showstopper. Do you have budget for this, or are you not looking to spend any real cash? -- bigfool1956 David Ayers Music is what counts, hifi just helps us enjoy it more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bigfool1956's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48409 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
