I mentioned in the other room, that I have been struggling with an inadequate number of inputs on my pre-amp. This has been partly solved by purchasing a NAC32.5, which has 5 x inputs, but I am going ahead with an input expander too.
I have a Naim CB half-width chassis and case, which was a NAC42.5 in a previous life. It has 3 x din sockets, 2 x RCA and an output socket. At the moment, I am using it to switch between the Lenco and Michell so that they can share the same mc card in the 32.5, but it will make an excellent input expander.
I came across the Glasshouse channel switcher on the Hi-fi Collective site & I think that I can make use of it. It features switching for 5 x inputs, either by remote control or a chassis mounted encoder, with an 8 x segment display to show which input is selected. It has the facility for a remote controlled, motorised pot too, but I won't use that. You have to use the associated Glasshouse Remote Control board, as it powers the switcher board, but I think it would form the basis of an excellent expander & it should sound good too, because the design allows you to keep all input signal wiring as short as possible.
