I was curious if there would ever be a need to run a y adapter from the lead deck or other decks to cut down on messy chains.
an RCA Male > 2 RCA Females (to run out of a sony 7pin)
or
an RCA Female > 2 RCA Females (to split from a P1)
obviously there are many other options, just curious

Yup. I always carry an RCA barrel splitter with me: 1 M end, 2 F ends. I also carry a M/M and F/F barrel with me. Allows me to have a variety of in/out ends:
1M, 2F
2M, 1F
3F
I suppose if I carried another M/M barrel I could run 3M ends, taboot. Haven't really needed to, though, so I don't.

if you use a M1 or D100 a splitter or y-cable should be a standard part of you gear bag!
being stuck at the end of a massive DA-P1 and D8 chain is almost a 100% gaurantee for high jitter and dropouts
-
what about running a y-cable splitter instead to cut down on the cable mess right near your bag? Designed sort of like an Oade cable:
long digital cable
RCA connector-----------------------------------------< barrel splitter
is that just asking for extra jitter?
