Howdy Hardforum experts!
I need a solution, and I figured someone on this fine gathering of Hardware geeks is someone who knows what I'm asking for.
I am a fairly advanced technician, and have owned my own technology consulting business for quite awhile now, so that is why I am so irked by being stumped by this problem.
I have several audio sources in my office (at least 5) and often work (or play) late into the night, and need to be quiet. And what I would like to do is take all those sources (stereo 1/8th inch, RCA, SPDIF, Optical, from my server, gaming rig, receiver, ipod dock, etc), and output to a single headphone jack OR to another source, so I can have all my audio routed to just 1 source.
I have searched google, musicians friend, monoprice, etc and I cannot find a single appliance that I can sit on my desk and have access to all of my audio outputs.
My end goal is to have all of my sources available to me from one set of phones. A normal home receiver you would think could accomplish this, but I would like access to ALL sources at once, and have a controller that lets me adjust and tweak volume and sources to my hearts content. Having a graphic EQ to monitor levels, etc would be awesome too.
Ideas??
