Can a DAC do triple duty?

Hi All,

I posted a while back asking if a DAC can do double duty and indeed my DENAFRIPS Pontus II 12th has handled this magnificently. Wondering if it can do triple?

 

I currently have a vintage Elite PD-F17 CD carousel connected via Coax to Pontus. I also have an Eversolo DMP-6 Master streamer connected via USB to Pontus.

Same system, I also have a Brennan B2 ripper connected via Toslink to a Topping E70 Velvet. I was wondering if I could remove the Topping and move to a second system and just connect the Brennan via Toslink to Pontus? Obviously I could only listen to 1 of the 3 at a time, but wondering if this is doable?

 

Pontus is connected to my Processor via XLR...

 

Thanks in advance Folks!

kingbr - I am curious if you find the Eversolo to be a sonically significant upgrade to the Brennan when playing FLAC files locally?

Thanks kingbr - I appreciate your observations. It seems analogous to the experience I have had with some legacy mp3 files, which I ripped from vinyl back in the day, versus FLAC files of the same material. In some ways the mp3 files seem lighter to me and, for casual listening, in some ways preferable. Not surprisingly, the FLAC files, either downloaded or ripped from CDs, sound fuller and perhaps a bit darker. I love my Brennan B2 and I have it tweaked out with a massive linear power supply and an iFi SPDIF purifier, with the X power adapter, but I am always on the lookout for that next generation media player that might elevate my listening experience. Regards - D
