I've been toying with the notion of a purist audio chain for 2 channel in my system. With either a high-res DAC/volume control or a high-end 2 ch preamp, I could go directly via XLR into my Krell amp (bypassing the surround processor).
Is there any trick I could use to be able to have RCA and XLR connections to the amp in place ON THE AMP END, and still get it to work. I'm aware of the jumper pins on the XLRs when using RCAs, but is there any way one can "jump" the far end of an XLR cable to achieve the same effect? My amp is in an almost inaccessible location, and constantly changing the cables at that end would not be possible. I could easily plug/unplug the XLRs at the source component.
Thoughts?
