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!

Multiple inputs aren't a problem. What a dac typically won't do is output both rca and xlr simultaneously.

Thanks @curiousjim. Great to hear from a fellow Pontus owner…I honestly could not think or see any reason why it wouldn’t be a go, other than a possible stress factor…Appreciate everyone’s input😊

I have a Pontus II with two DACs (I2S and USB connections) plugged in and an Oppo 203 (optical) for CDs as well. No problem.
