Hello, you will not experience any performance or sound quality loss with the SPK1 or any of my products. One of the most important factors is that the SPK1 uses gold-on-gold contacts for the relays. This type of relay is pretty rare in audio products. The relays are "break before make" so that there is no chance of the two amps being connected together, even during a power failure. The other factors are the double thick copper circuit boards for the audio signal path. The included power supply is universal mains voltage 100-250VAC 50/60Hz but the plug style is USA. International orders are 7-10 business days for delivery. You can read a full instrumented test of the XLR1 which shows no signal losses here (it uses the same audio detection circuits and similar relays): www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/bobwire-xlr1-xlr-and-rca-switcher-review.57640/

Thanx for the replay. I was placing the order on amazon, but price went cracy to import it. From 250 to almost 450! I have to think, as i like the product but price went almost double

@ please check my website, click “where to buy”. You can purchase direct from me for international orders. Further info, please reach out by email for easier responses!

@@SteveHovey Do you mean a Sonos Connect trigger? And by trigger, do you mean a 12V trigger to turn on your power amp? If that is the case, I make a product specifically for that called the DAT1.

Hello Chris, you can purchase any of my products from my website. You may also be able to purchase through Amazon. The Russo d ADP will convert speaker outputs to RCA connections. I’m not sure this is helpful in your situation.

@@BobWireAudio you have probably gathered the reason I was looking at the Russo was to provide a PRE-OUT for my AVR. But there is no trigger or audio sensing. If I use the SPK1 instead then basically my Front L/R Main speakers will use the AVR AMPs when selecting AV and if I turn on the 2nd Streaming AMP the stereo signal will go to my mains instead? Selecting (2 IN & 1 OUT) option. If I buy can you supply an AU socket power supply or will I need an adapter?

@@ChrisBrownFazer1 Yes, you are correct. The SPK1 will automatically switch between your AVR and Streaming Amp. I recommend connecting your AVR to INPUT A on the SPK1. Connect streaming amp to INPUT B. As soon as you start playing music on the streaming amp, it will immediately be connected to you speakers. I have another video showing exactly this: th-cam.com/video/sNKhu--X36o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k5Wn2cR-3PetRwBk ( the power supply is universal mains 100V-250V but the plug is USA style.

@@BobWireAudio okay thanks Bob, very helpful. Before I purchase I'm going to get hold of a streaming amp to demo, to find out if this is worth pursuing. It will have to be impressive against the AN1000 AVR in Pure Direct mode to my Focal Chorus 800 mains. Next time you hear from me will be an order 👌

@@christophergaus3996 Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the purchase! Are you switching between two surround sound system (4 channels x2 units = 8 channels). Or are the two RCA1 being used in separate systems?

It sounds like your home theater processor has preamp outputs. If you are using a normal analog input on your dedicated stereo preamp then you would be going trough two volume controls? You would need to set the volume on the dedicated stereo to about unity gain every time you wanted to use the home theater. Like you said, it is a little inconvenient since you would need to turn both units on and adjust the stereo preamp volume level to the same level each time. The other thing is that going through both units (and two volume controls) you would be doubling your distortion and noise levels. The BobWire devices distortion and noise levels are so low that they could be considered zero. Distortion is around 0.00005%. Check out a full test of one of my products by ASR here: www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/bobwire-xlr1-xlr-and-rca-switcher-review.57640/ But also, if it works for you then great!

You are welcome!

Hey thanks for you interest! The power supply will work in all regions. 110v-250v AC.

actually 100V-250v AV mains (japan uses 100V)

Will the trigger also switch the receiver to the correct source on the receiver. For example to the optical where the sonos connect is connected?

@@mrgrigge unlikely, unless you can setup your receiver like this. The DAT1 only sends a very simple 12v dc voltage.. not digital signal with information to instruct another device

Guessing something like this is the answer (?): www.amazon.com/Extractor-Aerctor-Optical-Splitter-Converter/dp/B07BSKT1VD/ref=asc_df_B07BSKT1VD/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242074892521&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9058602167008051123&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010625&hvtargid=pla-439338877373&psc=1

It sound like you can connect the ATV to your TV by HDMI, then use the optical out from the TV into the Echo Link. When you play music on the Echo Link it will override the ATV/TV audio. When you stop the Echo Link the ATV/TV audio will be activated. The downside is that you will need to have the TV power on to get any sound from the ATV. If your TV doesn't have an optical out then you could use the extractor that "thewightfamily" mentions below. The extractor would also let you listen to the ATV with your TV powered off.

Haha, yeah Amazon doesn't describe that feature at all. If you check out my written review on Amazon I talk about that and some other details.

I heard “ Bob wire, Digital Audio Trigger, DAT1”, but google knows nothing of such device. Link would be appreciated, ty

In the video I had a beta test unit. The website will be launching in 2-3 weeks. Ill post the website when live. Check back. Thanks.

Checking back, any updates?

I'm interested too...so ..If I well understand, to turn on my old Onkyo Amp with Alexa, I'll need not only to buy the Amazon Link but also a trigger? hummm hope it won't be too hard for me to understand what to do. Pls forgive my bad eng. Thanks and greetings from Firenze (Italy)

@@BobWireAudio Is there any progress with the website?

Yes cats still on

This is an old vid, but for someone just getting your first NSX NA1 or 2. No matter what exhaust you get keep the Cats on other wise you will get an unpleasant odor in the cabin from the exhaust.
