    Upgrade from Topping D50 with tube headphone amp/Ether 2?

    @DVDdoug @AnalogSteph Thanks to both of you for confirmation of my gut feeling. Though I would not bash older technology too much. Copper wires and cone speakers are even older. I don't get any noise on the cans with the Topping. I did get some horrible noise when going through a Dragonfly...

    Y-splitters vs. AB-switchbox?

    First post here with a rather basic question re a 1 into 2 pathway. I have a phone stage (Vincent PHO 701) with single RCA out that needs to send signal to either an integrated amp (Rotel 1572) or a headphone amp (Woo WA6 SE), the latter with two RCA ins. Options are: 1) Phono stage - Y-splitter...
