    Default XLR selector/ switch box advice

    I have three sources with XLR outputs but only one XLR input on my SS integrated amp. One idea is to use a selector box allowing me to hook up all three devices, and I think I've found one that might do the job:

    Does this look to be a reasonable quality device? Not so sure about the switches.

    And pls, no RCA vs XLR debate. I posted the very same question elsewhere and it degenerated into a discussion about the merits of RCA against XLR. By all means tell me not to bother, but I'm searching for an answer to my problem.

    Apologies for the very slow reply to your question Gareth.

    I see no reason why the Douk XLR switch box should not be OK, though I would have preferred it had Douk used a single 2-pole 3-way rotary switch, rather than the three DPST switches used. In fact there is nothing to the switch box that one could not do oneself if you are able to solder; save for expediency. Remember, you may have to pay import duty and VAT if you buy from China.
