So this is a question i've been pondering ever since I split the XLR output on my DX7s. I used a pair of xlr splitters to connect the xlr outs of the dac to both my studio monitors and my headphone amp. This is no problem as the DX7s would have high output impedance and downstream gear has low input impedance. There is no audible difference and the level doesn't even drop the slightest amount (on the amp having both connected at the same time on the same output rather than just the amp by itself). The question I'm curious to know is how many times can we split a line level output before there is a significant drop in output or any other form of signal degradation? or does it depend on the output impedance/input impedance of components.
