Can a DAC do double duty?


Hi All,

I have Eversolo streamer going to DENAFRIPS Pontus via USB. Then XLR’s from Pontus to my processor. 
 

I have an older Pioneer Elite CD carousel which has coax. Can I go coax from CD player to Pontus, then Pontus to processor via RCA in’s on my processor?

 

Obviously I would be listening to either/or not at the same time. But is this doable? And if so does it do any harm to Pontus?

 

Thanks so much in advance!

 

Best Regards…

Just buya external dvd,Blu-ray  with a usb A on one end which you need to rip CDs 

these multi disc are NG the bigger the platter the more the wobble.

Agree with the advice above - not issues with using two inputs to the Pontus

However where I ran into an issue with the Pontus (which I love by the way) was in trying to hook up both outputs of the Pontus at the same time.  I wanted to run RCA into my tube integrated and run XLR to a headphone amp.  Even though I would have only used one output at a time, Vinshine confirmed what the manual said about not connecting both outputs at once. Beyond my understanding but something to do with output buffering I believe.  My solution was to get a new integrated amp with XLR input with a good built-in headphone amp

@jmalen123 I have the PD-65 as well.Sadly, there's something wrong in the laser electronics and it no longer reads a CD.  I -LOVED- this CD player.  It really had an incredible presence and projected the instruments into the room.  I wish I could get this thing fixed!!

Even though I would have only used one output at a time, Vinshine confirmed what the manual said about not connecting both outputs at once.

@burtlake Great and important info, and thanks for sharing — I was actually wondering about exactly that issue.  OP, there’s the definitive answer to your initial question.

Damn, thank you for pointing this out. I actually emailed Alvin at Vinshine about this and they're currently on holiday break...Guess I'd better put those plans on hold 😔
