VDA1 digital inputs

Dumb question here, sorry in advance, but can't find a answer thru searching or on the CIAudio site.
I thought it would be great to be able to switch inputs -- just like on the benchmark DAC1.
But I see the CIAudio DAC has both coax and toslink inputs, but appears to have no way to switch between the two. Does it mean only one should be connected at a time (meaning lots of cable pulling), or does the unit default to one of the inputs?

The VDA-1 has auto-switching. When signal is present at both inputs, it defaults to the coaxial input. To switch to the Toslink input, simply turn off the coaxial source.

another question....
The VDA1, VHP1 etc all come with stock wallwarts -- but are these 220v compatible or do non-110v people have to buy the VAC1 upgrade power supply?

The standard version of our small products are 115v only. We don't offer a 230v version because the countries that require 220~240v all use different AC plugs...this would require stocking several models.

The VAC-1 is compatible with these voltages and uses an IEC power cord input, so it can be used anywhere with a simple cord change. Amplifier models are available in 220~240v at no extra charge.
