Ayre QB-9 DAC - alternative connections?


I bought a used QB-9 and am overwhelmed with its performance in my system streaming Tidal Hifi from my iMac to my preamp via USB cable.  With only one USB input into the Ayre DAC, I am unable to use it at the moment to accept a digital signal from my Oppo 103 (which has only two digital outputs:  coax and Toslink.)  

Does a device exist which would accept the USB stream from my iMac and a coax/toslink connection from my Oppo that would permit me to utilize the Ayre for both digital streams?  If so, would such a device likely degrade the sound from either sources?  Otherwise, I will consider another DAC to pair with the Oppo.

Many thanks for any insights you can provide.

If you like the sound of the QB-9, you might move to the Codex. That device adds a toslink input and shares the QB-9 sound. Some users actually prefer the Codex, including golden ears Jim Smith.
