I have recently added a BD player and want to take advantage of its analog outs but don’t want to give up my SACD/DVD-A player outs.  Since the SP2 only has one set of 5.1 analog inputs I need a way to support both.  Is there analog switch available?  I would like to test DTS-HD from the analog audio output of my BD player.

The Zektor is the one many 'philes use.  I think they used to make a 5.1 version (find used maybe?)

This Zektor could be used if 5.1 only (4 x 5.1; see comments in description recommending using it as such)

There's this as well which has an analog multi-channel in and multiple HDMI ins and converts it to a multi-channel analog out.

The issue with that one is that it doesn't allow for the OP's needs (i.e two sets of 5.1 analog ins, one for SACD one for BD).  If he's testing the internal BD decoder the HDMI conversion is of no use.

Since the SP2 has no HDMI, I assumed the decoding would be done in the player and transmitting HDMI or analog could produce the same result from the BD player.  It's also somewhat likely there are no level controls in the BD player.  I know that is the case with my Samsung 2500 and my SP1.7 so I'm not sure w/o level controls any solution would work unless there were level controls in the pre/pro or there were no differences in levels from the listening spot.

Thanks all.  More than I had planned on spending but the Zektor looks like the ticket.
