    Audio 7.1 question

    I have a parasound preamp with one set of 7.1 analog inputs (no HDMI). It is currently used with my DVD-A player. Now I am going to buy a blu-ray player and need to use the 7.1 analog connection for that too. Would the sound be degraded significantly by just using Y adapters so each input can be connected to both the DVD-A and the blu-ray? Or would it be "much" better to buy an audio switcher like the Zektor mas7.1?
    Thanks!

      YES, to my knowledge, you can't use y-plugs to hook two sources to one input. You can only split an output.

      Sorry, unless I'm dramatically wrong, (which is always possible) you'll need a nice switch--the Zektor works great, everyone says.

      Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

          DVDA/SACD Connections to 1066
          by Mike Hayes
          I am considering purchasing a Pioneer 563A ($180) universal player to replace my Toshiba SD5700. I am currently using just the digital connection (not using the 5 analog cables for DVDA). This will be my first experience with DVDA/SACD in conjunction with my 1066 so please bear with me.

          RDV1060 DVDA Problem
          by fordster
          I've had my RDV1060 for a few weeks now and finally got round to buying a DVD Audio (Under Rug Swept - Alanis Morrisette). When I insert the disc the player picks up that it is a DVDA and shows 96-24MLP on the display. However, that's about all that happens beyond a bit of clicking. The timer eventually...
