Need help from the experts or the EEs.
My situation is that my CDP (CD player) sounds best when plugged directly to my power amp which is connected to my speakers. My CDP has a built in opamp/preamp so it has its own volume control.
I also want my surround receiver also connected to the same power amp via its pre-outs.
So I was thinking of using a passive switcher like this:

Do you guys think this will be an issue. Any suggestions of other devices for my situation. I did have the CDP connected the the surround receiver but I still like the sound with CDP direct to the power amp. My receiver in 2 stereo mode doesn't sound transparent. There is a sound difference between the CDP->poweramp vs CDP->Surround Receiver->power amp.
