Can Monoblock be split for analog and digital


Will this work? Can I use XLR Y adapter/splitters from my monoblocks to power 2 separate devices? I have a Emm Labs DV2, and a Classe' Sigma SSP preamp. I love the digital sonics the DV2 presents. Thinking about adding analog to the mix. I don't want to use the Classe' Sigma preamp with the DV2. The preamp and DV2 will never be on at the same time. Will this result in any diminished returns? Parasitic loss?? The monoblocks in essence will be sending power to separate devices? I think? If anyone has done this please chime in...Thanks

It's really not ideal.  The apparent output impedance of a solid state device when turned off or muted is complicated.

Why don't you try using the SSP in bypass mode??
