I was wondering, if I use a DAC with 12v trigger out. And two mono amps with 12v trigger in behind that. Can I just y-split the trigger cable to signal both?

If so, are there differences known with any devices?
 
Not a problem. The reverse (two devices powering one amp) needs a diode inline though.

Hi, shouldn't be a problem,I'm using y-split trigger cable from WiiM ultra to a pair of Purifi monoblocks work fine.

Thanks. I have a plethora of various Y-plugs lying around from the old stereo days. Trigger cabling all over is an easy job.

And I bet I'll find a one-way / dioded cable or plug for cheap on the net too.
 
I'm using af y-split from my NAD C3050 LE to my two Apollon Monoblocks. Works like a charm.
