Hi Currently I use a cd-player as a source to my X-Can v3. Every time I want to use another source, my tuner for example, I need to disconnect my cd-player from the X-Can's input and connect the tuner there. That is quite annoying and cumbersome. The reason of course is that lonely input on the amplifier What can I do to make it possible to have two or three different sources continuously connected to my amp? Is there a simple "preamp" with a simple source selector or something like that? All the best muxamed

If you have your CD player connected to an amp in the normal way for speakers, you can use the tape out to the Headphone amp input in order to get any signal chosen on the front of the speaker amp to go through to your headphone amp.

His amps sound very good, and LR1 works like a charm. I had an LR1 to feed 4 sources to two amps and it worked quite well.

Thank you guys ian and Mike: My amplifier has only an "electrical" source selector which means that when the amp is switched off there is no signal out from the "tape out" output. In order to use it with the X-Can in the way you describe it, the amp has to be switched on during my listening sessions. I would rather not have the big "power hog" switched on all the time mrarroyo: I will check out that router. The idea looks promissing.
