extrange connection?


I have a problem that I want to share with you to hear your comments:
My CD player have its own analog volume so can be connected to the amp directly thru xlr outputs. My preamp have rca outputs. My idea is to connect both outputs to the xlr inputs of my amp using a special cable that could have in one end a pair of xlrs and in the other end two pairs of cables, one RCA (to my amp) and other xlr (to my cd player). I understand that I cant drive the preamp and the cd at the same time. -Hope you understand my idea-
How sounds this to you; do you think I can loose some quality? any other idea?
Thanks for your imput.

Thanks a lot for your help Edesilva. I'll follow your recomendations before go ahead with my idea.
Thanks for your answer but no, my CD player does not have digital imput (by the way, is the new Cary 303/300). About my goal yes, my idea is to run the CD player directly without connections to the preamp and the rest of the sources (mainly dvd-video, dvd-audio and sacd thru the pream).
