ES9023 / WM8804 S/PDIF "Subbu DAC V3" GB Interest

Don't get me wrong, I am new to all this..
If I add this unit to existing choice of connections how the selection of inputs is working?
Or it is just any running device will drive dac without any input selector ?

You could use this receiver with four inputs from TwistedPear and connect Toslink or SPDIF to it and use the I2S output to your DAC.

That's the great part of DIY, you can make it how you want it to work. You could go the simple route and just use one of the suggested optical daughter boards, wire the out to the input of the DAC's SPDIF and have a single optical in only DAC.

I plan to have optical and coaxial input, I plan to "control" input selection simply by choosing to connect only one device at a time to the DAC, no switch, no selector etc.

BTW - Welcome to the party!

To be honest everything started with my current Mark K ER18DXT build.
I am midway with it now- even considering Europe Audio let me down with delivery times.
I will order Lighter Note passive attenuator next week to hook to accidentally acquired power amp (with low input impedance though, so might need buffer stage) , which is going to be my first practice in diy with help of friend of mine.
Dac will follow.
And, hopefully, I will do my own amp- seems chip amps not too difficult...

P.S.: If I have 1 connection at time into dac, I do not have to do much work then ?

By the way, what is procedure of GB ?
List is consolidated
Payments taken
Someone receives items and distributes ?

Plus, as I understood it will have sort of manual or how to ..?

Here is a link to some detail on one way to add a selection element. In this case choosing optical or BNC copper was the goal. I appears it would not be that difficult to use this method particularly when using an external USB receiver.

Thx.
Adding one more dac , separating channels improves sq ? And if yes, how difficult to do it ?
