I will rewrite the instructions this weekend to a new version to take in all this feedback (and then ask for more). In terms of switching, it should hopefully be very simple. The DACs will plug into a switching box, the other party will have the remote control for the switching box and they will not be visible to me. I will ask for A or B or X and they will switch to the correct channel, so it should be simple. I can go fast slow as needed, or until my wife's patience runs out.
It is a 4 way switching box and I'm considering using splitter cables to plug each DAC into two ports e.g. A is on channels 1 & 2, with B on channels 3&4. This might help eliminate any tell from switching, such as an audible click or pause. Then, for example, if X=A and I'm listening to A, when I request to hear X, there will still be a switch occurring, even though it's still the same DAC. Hope that makes sense. I know splitters will upset the cable police but I'm happy to live with that. This is all still theory and I'll be checking all of this actually works, so it will be a while yet before I do any actual testing.
