Perhaps, though I would think with a voltage step up in there, it should be OK.  I have split coax signals at least 5 times in the field and it seemed to work!

working and bit accuracy are different things

I would be really concerned about doing this with an optical signal though.

Can you tell me why??

I'll keep looking.  Are you essentially saying, because I am a little confused, that you want to take two optical signals from two different source components, and feed one input without having to play around with connections? 
correct 1 source is my cd player the other source will be a computer (HTPC)
I would like to take those 2 feeds and feed them into the DAC.
Which is why I inquired about the m-audio or Hosa converter box's.
I can switch a toslink to a spdif (coax) connection.
As I mentioned earlier I have 2 spdif inputs on the DAC but only one optical input...

easiest bet could be to swap out your htpc soundcard for one with a coax digital out (i.e. an audiophile 2496, zoltrix nightingale, etc.), OR pick up a cd player/dvd transport with a coax out for cheap.

what soundcard are you currently using in your htpc?

I picked up a cheapy 7.1 dynex http://www.dynexproducts.com/pc-189-8-dynex-71-channel-pci-sound-card.aspx to use, I could use my delta dio 24/96 I suppose but I would rather keep it in the machine I do my editing on. When I bought the card I thought it said spdif, well it did but their spdif is actually optical. I will end up using my HTPC more than the cd player so I don't know maybe I will just deal with swapping cables.

if you get a m902 you can feed it usb from your htpc ;)  only 16/44.1 though...maybe 48 but not 24 (grace said it's a hardware limitation, which i do not believe because i have a u24 that does 24bit
