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

Thank you very much jeffseight and soix for the kind reply.

I have  not been able to figure out how to make the built in streamer in the Zen Mini Mk III to work with Deezer. The sound quality and selection of music, the interface I would hate to lose. The Bluesound is good enough for my 65 yr old ears, which are pretty good, just not as discriminating as many on this forum. Deezer has been the challenge but they are tight on their code .

I will try that USB idea. I am still learning about Digital music devices and all the options. I am a computer guy about a year t retire so I am used to learning on the fly.

Thank you again very much! PCR

Jonnieloop - Update, i did as you suggested, purchased a good quality Usb cable and ran it from the innous mini mk III to the shiit bifrost. Wow! What an incredible improvement in sound, realism, depth, detail and even separation. The bass went from not there on the low end to majestic!  Thank you for opening  a whole new world in music reproduction with excitement and realism. Thank you very much!
