I'd pay for the add-on board again if it had audio input. With the RetroTINK 5x-Pro I could have component and composite connected at the same time and not miss a beat. With this OSSC Pro add-on I'll have to actually remove inputs, or spend a LOT on switchers and splitters and hope it really is lossless, never mind automatic. I did buy a pair of Y-adapters like Bob from retrorgb suggested we do for the RT5X but my capture sees activity in only one audio channel, even if it both channels combined. Maybe they'll get it right when they redo it with RF...
I wouldn't get my hopes up. There's only one board, and they already have unpopulated solder points for RF screw terminals on current ones--no plans to make a different board afaik. There's no space for audio inputs anywhere on the board. If you haven't purchased already, the Tink5x might make more sense for you.
I have an "RCA AUDIO/VIDEO/S-VIDEO SELECTOR" that seems old enough to probably be a mechanical switcher only, and uses sliding red plastic rather than LEDs to show the chosen input. By that, I mean loss of audio quality is probably minimal. I found one online with the model "VH911" but I have no model sticker on mine. Of course, it uses physical push buttons on top to select the input, so it may not be ideal for you.
@@jaffa225 There's actually a pretty common one of those on Amazon (at least in the US) that's like the price of a fastfood outing for one, as long as 4-port is fine. But yeah again, doesn't really make sense to go this route if a tink5x would make you equally happy for cheaper. (I'd also suspect tink5x makes NES cvbs look slightly better, but I bet OSSC Pro wins on some other platforms like TurboGrafx-16)
