Quality RCA Switchbox

David Hadaway at DB Systems is apparently still selling his DBP-2J/5 passive switch box (5 pairs of inputs, one pair of outputs), for $88. A version with gold-plated jacks goes for $110. Just got a packet of literature from him about 3 months ago. No web site, but try dbsys@att.biz or call (603) 899-5121. Worth a look. Good luck, Dave

I was out touring Manley Labs (Chino, CA) a few months back, and EveAnna showed me a prototype of a very high quality RCA switchbox. You might contact her about whether it is available as yet.

Thanks all; am following up on DB Systems (already have a ten year old one) and with Mapletree. Their selector box looks useful.

I was looking at digital switching boxes. Best I came up with is a Midiman unit that retails for 250. It has multiple XLR/Toslink/Coaxial inputs and can convert any of these to one of the three digital formats for output. So, if anybody needs a decent digital switching box this one may be a candidate.

Anybody know of a quality digital switching box that will accept the three diff interfaces and convert them to XLR and/or coaxial other than the Midiman?

This one looks decent -
