Digital coaxial advice needed


I’m a revived audio nerd so i seek some advice.
I’m looking for inputs for 2 PC’s and one coaxial cable between Nurpime Evo dac and CDT-8 Pro transport.
All advices are appreciated.

Can you rephrase your question? Not sure what you are asking. PC's? Personal computers, power cords or?
You should be able to use an hdmi cable that you may already have. Give it a try.
That would be "i2s" using an HDMI type cable. That is generally the best connection if both devices use the same i2s protocol. The one PS Audio came up with uses the HDMI. There is no standard for i2s yet so compatability issues can come up. As I understand it. Some use bnc cables as well. I haven't played with that yet. Just been researching it.
I2S is not widely adopted yet. Mostly found on higher end equipment where maximum performance is the goal. My "Wyred 4 Sound" DAC also only has one I2S input. But my transport does not use it. That's not to say that SPDIF coax sounds bad, it does not. It's just not the best that is possible.
