Output to 2 analog amps simultaneously from Node

Hi, I'm considering buying the Node to use as a streamer and DAC.

I have 2 systems in my living room and I'd like to use the Node as a source for both, one is for music and one is for tv.

Ideally I would like to only use the DAC in the Node and connect both amps to the analog RCA output. This way I could share a sub between the two systems and I could maybe even use them in parallell.

If just using an RCA splitter, would that noticeably affect the signal or have other side effects? especially if using both amps at the same time?

If yes, what would be your suggested solution?

  There should be no or little effect using a rca-splitter to output to multiple amplifiers.
  If one of your amplifiers have an "output", you could daisy chain them instead.

  For years I used a passive pre-amplifier which split the selected input into three outputs, each driving a separate power amplifier so you won’t have any issues.

  ...but I feel obliged to state - you have much more freedom and flexibility if you purchase a separate NODE for each system and Group them when simultaneous playback is desired.

  This way they can act as two separate independent systems and not be forced to work in unison.
