    Sorry to bump this up, but I'm curious about something. Has anyone used the SYS as a simple input changer to two Headphone Amps? I was thinking about using this for maybe the ZDT Jr and the SW51+. However, I feel the SYS might make the sound worse since it isn't going directly from source to amp.

    ARISE, DEAD THREAD...


    I'm doing this right now. Gungnir MB > Sys > (Magni 3 / Vali 2).

    Per Schiit's SYS Product Page:
    Q: Hey, can you use this in reverse to switch 1 input to two outputs?
    A: Yes, with the volume all the way up. But why not just use RCA Y-cables or splitters?

    I had a SYS sitting around and I didn't have RCA Y-cables or splitters, so I gave it a shot.

    To my ears, everything sounds good, although i didn't do any comparisons. I had, however, listened to Gungnir directly to Magni 3 quite a bit lately, and I didn't notice anything odd after inserting SYS.

    Why, luckybaer? Why? (not that anyone cares...)
    (a) I wanted a set up for my IEMs
    (b) Vali 2 and Magni 3 were lonely being boxed up on a shelf

    So... I had to order another SYS since I raided my second system to fiddle around today.
