Can a DAC do double duty?
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 input... 
Can a DAC do double duty?
Damn, thank you for pointing this out. I actually emailed Alvin at Vinshine about this and they're currently on holiday break...Guess I'd better put those plans on hold 😔  
Can a DAC do double duty?
@amtprod not sure if it’s A6 version? Got her off EBay a few years ago. In a previous life I had the PD-F908 and sold that one after my divorce. A few years ago when I got back into the game the first thing I looked for was a Pioneer carousel. Cam... 
Can a DAC do double duty?
LOVE that the Elite player got some attention!😊   I did have to have the “arm” replaced as a cd came loose somehow and jammed up everything. My local guy said “it wasn’t worth fixing because of cost”, and he wasn’t sure he could get the part nee...

Thanks again and great call on the Pontus naming @soix 😂! Love it!   @martinl07d I am running the Elite PD-F17-old school baby👌🏻  
Can a DAC do double duty?
Thank you @soix! No actually that's MY bad, I should have known that's what you meant😖. So both devices would then share the same inputs? Wow would have never thought that possible. That would be weird though because I have the XLR named as "Evers... 
Can a DAC do double duty?
Thank you for the replies! Only 1 XLR cable? My processor is the Krell Foundation. What would be the best way to connect? I need the 2 XLR’s for left and right for the streamer, no? And then the RCA’s left and right from the Pontus to the Krell?  
Can a DAC do double duty?
Thank you @cleeds! I figured it was ok, but honestly haven’t heard of anyone doing it. No extra burden or no harm to the Pontus right?

UPS or surge protector/power conditioner? And if UPS, recommendations please under 1K
Thank you so much! I have read so many different things in regard to UPS', some where they say they're better than a power conditioner, some say the other way around...That's why I came to the experts here - so thank you again for the advice and t... 
Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution
If you're happy stay put. I got into the higher end of audio 24+ years ago. I went through so many speakers until I came across Dynaudio Audience (back then it was their entry line but even that was stretching my budget). Soon as I heard them I wa... 
Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz?
Thanks @mapman, I thought so but wanted to reach out and check with all the experts here to confirm. Thank you @wsrrsw I figured that as well, which is why I mentioned I would only be using one or the other, never both at the same time. Thank you ... 
Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz?
@mattw73 Thanks so much! I literally just watched a video review on the DMP A-6 and I’m about to pull the trigger! Sealed the deal for me! Ya I thought the MXN10 offered USB and was heartbroken that it didn’t…again thanks so much for taking the ti... 
Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz?
Thanks @mahler123 ​​​​@mattw73. I checked out the Primare, but one important thing is a USB Ato B for connection to my Pontus DAC. Cambridge MXN10 does not offer that USB connection. So I am now extremely close to pulling the trigger on the Everso...
