How to expand of line inputs?

I have a Placette single linestage pre. I always thought that would be enough for my stereo needs. Then came PC audio. Now I would like to use my cdp and SB3 without having to plug and unplug. Do people have a suggestion (short of replacing my pre) for being able to connect both the cdp and SB to the pre? I'm thinking there must be some kind of splitter (perhaps with a toggle switch) but I'm not sure about whether it would degrade the sound quality.

The Manley solution is called the Skipjack. Unfortunately it retails for $900.

Thanks for your recommendations. I'll check out the cost of the Mapletree line router. If too much, I'll look at the Sima. I'm currently using the DAC-Ah while my Cary cdp is in the shop. I especially like it because I can toggle between my PC and cdp. Once the Cary's back I don't think I'll be using the external DAC. Of course, I'll compare the Cary's internal with the external. My system's really in flux at this time as I move gear in and out.

or

the 47 Labs selector....rather expensive but high quality. The Luxman seems decent enough.
