Musical Fidelity V-Dac

I was thinking of getting one of these V-Dacs as I can get it for £129 delivered from Acton Gate Audio.

However,
before I pull the trigger can someone tell me if you can connect
digital outputs to both the toslink and coaxial inputs on the V-Dac at
the same time. I see there is a switch provided to switch between
coaxial and USB but no switch between coaxial and toslink?

I want to connect 2 devices one optically and one via coax is this possible?

Yes, you can, and it should detect which one is being used. However, I have had to reboot the DAC after switching on a couple of occasions.

Thanks for that !

The optical connection will be my digital TV
box which is usually always on and tuned to a channel. The Coaxial
connection will be my CD Player.

Am I right in thinking that I will need to switch off the digital TV box before playing CD ?

Yes, that's right. Standby should be fine.
