How do I split the audio out from a dvd player to 3? I need to go to an aux. input device and two screens that have IR (and not audio out). I don't want to degrade the signal. thanks

The best way is by using a D/A (distribution amplifier) or a line driver.

if you start splitting 3 diffrent, i would go with a line driver unless you have a decent powered dvd player....also if you are running the audio to the screens, are you going to use the rca's? if so I would go with a line driver for sure, you will lose to much power trying to devide a 5 volt source into 3 sources

What do you guys think about using this https://www.cardomain.com/item/AVXVA100 ? It will also boost my video of which I need. Will I add "noise" to the system if I hook the power wires to this booster (actually I need to for dvd and Xbox-screens have 2AV inputs) with the power supplies of dvd and screens. So one big wire from battery to 2 screens, 2 boosters, and dvd player. I'll ground the grounds together and keep it short. Will this be ok? thanks
