Placette makes a 3-input passive preamp that is basically just a volume control. Not sure how it would work with your Oppo though.

Switch with volume control
I've come to the conclusion that what I want is a switch with a volume control that's transparent in its effect on sound. It could be balanced or unbalanced. The sources that would input to the switch are an Oppo 105, a Sony XA 5400ES, and a Parasound JC-3. All sources have the option of balanced or unbalanced output. The Oppo output is 5.1 or 7.1 analog, the Sony and Parasound stereo.
Any recommendations for such a switch? I've been using a Cary Cinema 11a with its inputs set to bypass essentially as a switch with volume control.

Kal, In your opinion would replacing my Cary Cinema 11a with a Parasound P7 be a step up, a step down, or a sideways step, given that either can provide the functions I want? A Sony XA 5400ES connects via HDMI. but an Oppo 105 and a Parasound JC-3 connect via analog to the Cary. The Sony could connect via analog as well, if I limit it to stereo, a not unreasonable limitation with the Oppo in place. In either case, I'd use balanced output to the amps. db |
