Can we use 2 sources into the Ultra DAC?

Besides the expected answer to disconnect and reconnect, can the UltraDAC allow for a CD transport or a Squeezebox to both be hooked up at the same time and let me switch between them?  Special config Frank?

Gee I posted info about a useful digital input switcher at AC sometime within the last few weeks.  It takes up to four either coax or Toslink inputs and output either coax or Toslink.  It even comes with a remote control!  I think it cost about $100.  A search herein should find it.

  This is veering a little off-topic, but, since I am nearly completely ignorant, please forgive me. Is there anything special about digital coax connections? It looks like typical RCA plugs on a normal interconnect cable. If so, it would seem that you could use any typical rotary selector switch "input multipler" to do the source selection. Is that true?

I've been using a Niles AXP-1 Auxiliary Input Selector to switch between 2 sources. The Niles switch has 5 stereo inputs.
I use the left channels of input 1 and 2.
The Inday switch looks like a much better solution.

 :duh: :duh: :duh: :duh: www.inday.com  I got mine from  www.markertek.com  Looks like Inday also sells direct...It works perfect.  Get the remote version, as they also offer a non remote version.  Cool item
