Any users here have both a Mega Sg and Super Nt and using the Analogue DAC to play on a CRT? Is there a way to hookup both to use the DAC or am I forced to swap cables every time?

Yes I used an inexpensive manual 2 switch I got from Amazon a few years ago. Just one button to press to switch. Works well no issues.

I did this for a long time before selling my sg. I got a basic auto switch and it worked fine

I use an HDMI switch for this as well, but I think it's important to point out that I did initially have problems and only on the most recent firmware versions can I switch between my NT Noir, Super NT, and Mega SG without any problems. It also worked on a super dumb HDMI switch but not one that tries to "auto-detect" which input is live.

You *might* be able to use a switcher, but you never know if any switcher is going to change the signal in a way that the DAC doesn't like. If it ends up not being possible and you have to keep swapping, I'd recommend getting a small male to female HDMI cable so you can swap from that instead of beating up the DAC port. HDMI is a pretty fragile connection and not rated for a lot of plugs.
