[sdiy] Audio quality switch chips??

Switching POST summing resistor is always going to be a risky (noisy) 
approach! Partly because it'll no doubt mean you have 
longer-than-necessary traces on the virtual ground.

The only thing I've noticed in this configuration is a bit of sensitivity to power supply quality. Perhaps this is less of an issue when using it in a configuration where higher voltages are switched.
