How to connect two amps with one source?

I want to connect my modded Ack dac (with one set of RCA outputs) to my tubed headphone amp (Singlepower Supra) and power amp (AVA FetValve Ultra 550).

What is a way of doing this that will have the least effect on the sound? Do I need to use a line router or switch box, or will an inexpensive y-splitter work at the output of the RCA terminals?

i suggest a simple mod to the dac, which will create a second pair of analog out females.

i have often thought that digital designers furnish dacs and/or cd players with 2 sets of analog out connectors.

tsuch an approach would solve your problem.

i do not mean an internal y connection.

consider a preamp with multiple inputs and outputs.

in the same way, consider a digital source with more than one output. you would have two sets of analog outs, the same way a preamp can have two sets of main outputs.
