Title: Zen Switchbox ZSB
Post by Johnx on 12/03/20 at 20:40:14

Hello I am new to this forum and I would appreciate your guidance. My DAC Gustard A22 has limited outputs and I have 3 headphone amplifiers. What I would like to do is connect my laptop by USB to the DAC then connect that to the Zen from which I can connect to the individual headphone amps and switch between them. Is this a reasonable use of the Zen?

Thank you

JohnX- I just rec'd my ZBox a few weeks ago and am using it in a standard configuration. As I understand it, it can be used in either direction i.e. 4 in X 2 out OR 2 in X 4 out. Steve can fabricate it just about anyway you wish so don't be afraid to reach out to the Zen Master. Keep us posted, I am happy as heck with mine. Happy listening, Chris.

Hey Chris, how long did you have to wait for your switch box?
I am thinking about ordering one.

Kruegs - Sorry for the late reply. I ordered mine last year, maybe end of June when Steve posted a 10% coupon. Must have taken about three months, which I learned long ago, order it and forget it. I was still fully functional with out the switchbox, but with it it is an easier thing for the other family members to use the system. Great product, no signal loss that I can detect. As with everything from Decware, totally satisfied. Happy listening, Chris.

Greetings from GB,

Thanks in advance.

The ZSB is not made for that job. Terminating speaker wire with RCA plugs would be highly impractical, and the SB wire gauge is too thin for that purpose in any case. The ZSB is for interconnects only.

Enter "speaker selector box" in your browser search to find what you're looking for from sellers in GB.

Most obliged for your explanations. Then Luxman AS 55 it is, thankfully that is available off the shelf.
