A STAX 252A amp, same as the 2050 sold in anglo markets, has parallel-

inputs connected, one to a CD player, one to a computer output, the
sound is muted, dulled. With the computer leads pulled, the sound is
louder and brighter.

Is this report what we would expect? What is the key mechanism at work
here? Suggest some ballpark values.

I assume they're not, of course, both inputs even although they are
parallel connected. One will be an input, one an output. I can't conceive
of any reason you'd want to parallel two different sources.
