Is it possible to divide digital output ?

My DACs(2x Esoteric D-01 ) can only take Dual Digital input(R+L).I can`t use it with source with Normal digital output.
Have I any hope to be abel to use this DACs after sources like server,DAB...etc. in other way is it possible to divide the normal digital out in dual digital out.
Have any body any other soultion.
I will appreciate all help i can get.

Technically, you will need active buffering to do this. S/PDIF is specified as a point-to-point transmission-line, so it is designed to go to exactly one destination, not two. It is both source and parallel terminated, so this complicates things as well. There is no way that you can maintain a 75 ohm impedance to two destinations.
