The only other way to pull it off is if you can prove that it's used for a business critical purpose (ie, videoconferencing, etc). Otherwise, it would be a tough sell

Hey slugg: how 'bout for those who have a "waiting room". Part of "office eqpt?"

You're making some great use of analog direct inputs, nfaguys. It's always fun to hear about systems that "think outside the box" to achieve specific goals.

This was a no-brainer, gonk. Those directs were just sitting there awaitin' fer me. So for those who need multiple inputs (SACD, DVD-A, and in my case 4 channel in-line) and don't want to spend the money on VEKTOR eqpt...if they still make the switcher...a cheap and easy way is patch bay. Just "normal" whichever you wish (probably SACD) and when you use the other format just cross patch. Been doin' it for years with other (older audio) stuff.
