extrange connection?

I have a problem that I want to share with you to hear your comments:
My CD player have its own analog volume so can be connected to the amp directly thru xlr outputs. My preamp have rca outputs. My idea is to connect both outputs to the xlr inputs of my amp using a special cable that could have in one end a pair of xlrs and in the other end two pairs of cables, one RCA (to my amp) and other xlr (to my cd player). I understand that I cant drive the preamp and the cd at the same time. -Hope you understand my idea-
How sounds this to you; do you think I can loose some quality? any other idea?
Thanks for your imput.

What is your goal? It sounds like you prefer the sound of your CD player running direct but have other sources that require a preamp. Is this correct? I am not qualified to answer your question directly.
However... Does your CD player have a digital input (mine does)? If so, you can run your preamp into your CD player (with an economical analogue to digital converter)and your CD player into your amp.
