Best way to connect multiple amps to one DAC using RCA's?


Can anyone recommend some kind of splitter that would maybe come off the RCA outs of my PerfectWave II that would allow me to hook up three to four different headphone amps at the same time, as well as my integrated speaker amp? On the other hand, would that somehow degrade the sound by lessening the signal to each amp by splitting it up too many ways?


 My setup:

Computer JRiver 22 -> PS Audio Perfect Wave II 2.4.3 -> 

       -> Parasound Halo -> KEF LS50

       -> Icon Audio HP8 MKII and/or Lyr and/or multiple other amps.

  

I do have pre-outs and RECORD outs on the Parasound Halo that could send signal to a couple amps but that would be like adding another middleman to the equation and wouldn't be as direct of signal as straight out of the DAC.


I think I will go with these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vampire-Wire-Y-Y-Adapters-1-RCA-male-to-2-RCA-female-all-metal-gold-plated-/401061739567 and daisy chain them together off the back of my DAC.


That will give me three outputs direct from my DAC from a solid adapter, without "Y" wires, (which could degrade or decrease signal?). Then I also have the RECORD out and Pre-outs from the back of my Parasound Halo that I could utilize.


Or, I guess I could just get a couple more of the hard adapters then I would have four outputs direct from the DAC from a solid adapter, all without "Y" wires.
