Multiple inputs on DAC

I have a Shiit Bifrost DAC. It has multiple inputs for optical, RCA. Ect. It seems it auto scans for an active source and selects it. I thought about connecting my Innuos player to the Bifrost via RCA. However, the Blusound 2i streamer is always on. I wonder if this DAC is meant for only one input device?

Can I connect both inputs live and manually select the Innous? Or will that configuration blow the DAC or amp?

Will I need to purchase another separate DAC for the innuous? The innuous is lacking low end bass with the built in DAC. Playing the same music on each device, the player is better on mid and highs, the streamer gets bass all the way down. Thank you  PCR

The Schiit Bifrost DAC is designed to handle multiple input sources, so it should be safe to connect both your Innuos player and Bluesound 2i streamer to it at the same time. The DAC should automatically detect which input is active and switch to it. If you want to manually select the Innuos player, you can do so by using the input selector switch on the front panel of the Bifrost.

As for the sound quality differences between the Innuos player and Bluesound 2i streamer, it's possible that the built-in DAC in the Innuos player is not as good as the one in the Bluesound 2i. If you prefer the sound of the Bluesound for bass, you could consider using a separate DAC with the Innuos player to improve the low-end performance. However, this may not be necessary if you're happy with the overall sound of the Innuos player and just looking for more bass. You could try adjusting the EQ settings on the Innuos player to boost the bass frequencies and see if that helps.
