Can a DAC do double duty?


Hi All,

I have Eversolo streamer going to DENAFRIPS Pontus via USB. Then XLR’s from Pontus to my processor. 
 

I have an older Pioneer Elite CD carousel which has coax. Can I go coax from CD player to Pontus, then Pontus to processor via RCA in’s on my processor?

 

Obviously I would be listening to either/or not at the same time. But is this doable? And if so does it do any harm to Pontus?

 

Thanks so much in advance!

 

Best Regards…

Just received this response from Alvin:

 

Dear Brian

 

Nice to hear from you again!
It's been some time since we last spoke. How are you doing? I hope you are doing well.

 

Absolutely no problem to connect multiple sources to the DAC's inputs. 

However, there is no need to use RCA output to connect to the same Krell processor. Your existing XLR output will work just fine.

 

Hope this helps!

So that being the case, then I would just switch between Coax and USBB on Pontus to switch from CD player to streamer, right?

...and another Billy J. to keep in mind...annnd our OP may be wount to agree:

"Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers"

Barefootin' is an option. 😏

Thanks again All!

So yup decided that’s the route I’m going! I’ll list the Ares II, AQ Water RCA’s. AQ Coffee Coax and add my Transparent Coax (XLR’s are Transparent and I already have the Transparrent Premium Coax hanging around) to the Pontus. 
 

So I can actually upgrade my cd sound and hopefully get some extra $ in my pocket. How often do you get to do that😌?

 

@asvjerry of course I agree, if I didn’t try to get all that initial mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers I would have never discovered my 2 BJ faves😉😂😌!
