I did the same thing with Pass Aleph 2 monos which had single ended and xlr inputs. Worked great for me. The only thing one may have to check out is that the two inputs are elecrically separate.
Good idea.

Alternative to HT Bypass?
I am looking to insert a 2 channel preamp into my home theater system. I have an Integra DTC-9.8 and a Lexicon 512NT 5 channel amp. I could obviously use a 2ch preamp that has a home theater bypass function, but I am limited to those units that actually have that.
Instead of doing that, because the Lexicon has both balanced and single ended inputs, couldn't I just hook up the Integra 5ch processor to the amp with single ended cables, and the 2ch preamp with balanced cables, and only turn the unit on that is being used at the time? This seems like it should work. Anyone tried this type of setup before?
