My brother just gave me his Pioneer 300 cd carrousel unit. I already have 2 Sony 400 units. The problem is that they only have one digital output (besides the analog). My MSB Link Dac has only ONE digital input. Is there a device that can accept multiple digital inputs with 1 output going to the DAC with some sort of switcher???

    Yes, both Inday and Audio Authority make multiple input digital switchers. These 2 both accept 4 inputs (either coax or toslink) and have 1 output (coax or Toslink).

    Search "Inday digital switch" or "Audio Authority 1177a"

    I'm currently using the Inday so I can have 2 Toslink inputs to my DAC (my HDTV Receiver and BluRay player). I also had the AA, but didn't like it's blazingly bright front LED's. The AA build is nicer though, as it's all metal.

    Thanks for the heads up.....I see you sold yours recently, may I ask how much you sold it for?

    Now I'm trying to decide WHO to buy it from, best price I found so far is from www.digitalconnection.com

    Ahhh, but I need them. My brother gave me his 300 cd player "including" the cd's (it's almost full). This will bring up my collection of cd's closer to 1,000. I'm not sure how many of those cd's I already have, but I guess I can use those in the car.

    I think the 1177A went for $85...

    Keep in mind the AA has VERY, VERY bright LED's. The Inday has more "mellow" display. BUT, the AA also has auto-switching, the Inday does not.
