Who makes switch-box for balance inputs?
Mikelavigne,Thanks for the follow-up. It is appreciated.That's alright. Like many here, I'm a transplant (St. Louis,MO; Go Cards). Heck, I even married a local gal, so, I guess I'm an offical Carolinian.

Sleepysurf,Sounds like you're very happy with Niles & bi-amping. I'll check out the Niles AXP-1 also.

Sleepysurf,Have you used their LR1 pro? Is it transparent or is the sound altered?I went to the website; looks nice. They seem flexible in meeting your specific needs. 
Who makes switch-box for balance inputs?
Mikelavigne,That is a nice looking unit. I can see why you are having a hard time letting it go. The application I'm looking at is the reverse; one XLR input splitting into two XLR outputs (one output selectable to RCA). I want to bi-amp my Martin...

Tboooe,Sure. I have a Classe CDT-1 connected to a Krell Showcase Surround Preamp/Processor; Using the Krell's on-board DAC. I don't know what Burr-Brown DAC Chip is used but it's 24-bit with upsampling to 192kHz. As for the cable, I had read sever... 
Matching digital input impedance of dac with cable
Tboooe/Tplavas/Audiofeil,I've been breaking in the new Chimera Digital Cable for about 3 days now and it has absolutely put the Monster 600 digital cable to shame. I'm hearing components of the music that were just hinted at before but now are mor... 
Best path to upgrade my source

Clio09,Thanks for the feedback. The Monarchy M22C with the piggy-back PCMs is on my short list. Are you talking about the M-24 with Line Stage for driving amps? How's the soundstage (width & depth; placement)? Monarchy web-site lists unit at $...

Tplavas,I am going to try the Chimera Advantage Series II Single Ended Digital Cable. After I let it burn in, I'll let yuo know how it goes; probably sometime in August.Thanks for your help. 
Matching digital input impedance of dac with cable
Tplavas & Audiofeil,Thank you for the information. There is no such thing as too information until it starts to get confusing.....I currently have a Classe CDT-1 transport connected to a Krell Showcase Surround Preamp/Processor via a Monster 6...
