PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac

Hi. I have the PSAPWD. Currently I’m only using it from my desktop MAC to the dac via USB.

Is it possible to also connect a cd transport to the dac via toslink? I’ve read that the Audiolab 6000CDT is a worthy transport.

So my actual question is, is it possible to have the dac use both the toslink and USB as input options to choose from and then of course playback?

Sorry, I’m an old dinosaur. Thank you for your replies.

Both inputs are available on the back of the DAC and selectable from the remote or the touchscreen.

When I went to connect another device by coax it would not lock with the DAC because the DAC was still locked to the USB. The USB does not disconnect automatically and you can’t have two devices locked at the same time so I had to physically unplug the USB. Maybe if you turn your computer off it will unlock and then the coax should lock when you select it as the input. I now run my Aurender through a Matrix DDC which gives me i2s for connecting to the DAC.
