I am interested in two types of add ons that I cannot find much information about:
1 auto switchers for optical inputs, and these ones in particular: https://www.lindy.co.uk/audio-video-c2/4-port-automatic-optical-audio-switch-p2921 and https://www.tindie.com/products/Beni_Skate/automatic-spdif-opticalrca-audio-switch/ The latter interests me in particular because it promises some de-jittering, and that has me worried a bit. A unit such as this would be used to handle my three optical sources in combination with a DAC such as the RME ADI-2 that has only one input.
2 A 230 Volt auto on/off sensing switch to turn on my power amplifier on when it recieves a signal and off when there is no signal (just like a subwoofer). The amplifier is a Quad 606-2 that has the switch at the back because it is supposed to be used in combination with a Quad preamplifier. The Quad 606-2 does not have a trigger input. My Ava Maestro 50 bedroom amplifier has such an auto on/off functionality and it allows me to even put the amplifier out of sight.
I would think I am not the only forum member who would find such units convenient.
