Can a DAC do double duty?


Hi All,

I have Eversolo streamer going to DENAFRIPS Pontus via USB. Then XLR’s from Pontus to my processor. 
 

I have an older Pioneer Elite CD carousel which has coax. Can I go coax from CD player to Pontus, then Pontus to processor via RCA in’s on my processor?

 

Obviously I would be listening to either/or not at the same time. But is this doable? And if so does it do any harm to Pontus?

 

Thanks so much in advance!

 

Best Regards…

Agree with the advice above - not issues with using two inputs to the Pontus

However where I ran into an issue with the Pontus (which I love by the way) was in trying to hook up both outputs of the Pontus at the same time.  I wanted to run RCA into my tube integrated and run XLR to a headphone amp.  Even though I would have only used one output at a time, Vinshine confirmed what the manual said about not connecting both outputs at once. Beyond my understanding but something to do with output buffering I believe.  My solution was to get a new integrated amp with XLR input with a good built-in headphone amp
