Currently, I have a Bluesound Node streamer and Yamaha CD-S303 CD player connected to a Schiit Saga+ preamp. Can I add an external DAC and connect both devices to it? Is so, how would the preamp function if there is only 1 output from the DAC?
The Denafrips Ares II has 1 USB, 2 coax, and 2 optical
inputs with selection on the front panel. This was a major consideration for me when I bought it. I don't know why more DACs don't offer multiple coax or optical inputs. Most people are running at least a streamer and a cd player.
My Pure Audio Lotus DAC5 has 7 inputs. 2 coax, 2 optical, 1 USB, 1 11S/DSD, and 1 AES/EBU. Selection is by remote. That would seem to cover just about everything anyone would need. Oh and also it's a great DAC. It did more for my set up than Denafrips Pontus, MHTD Orchid or the Topping D90SE.
