Default Split Digital Coaxial Audio?

Can one simple use a AudioQuest Y splitter https://www.audioquest.com/accessori...le-to-2-female to split the signal coming out of a Vault2i streamer to two separate devices? Is there a better device to do this? Is there sound quality degradation when split? I DO NOT mean splitting an audio signal for say two subs.

The Vault2i streamer has only one Coaxial output but I would like to send that signal to two separate DACs. The DACs are my Oppo205 and McIntosh C2700 DA2.

The reason for this is two fold. One, without changing cables I want to do a A/B comparison between the Oppo205 and DA2 DACs and two simplicity for my wife when she listens to whole house music.

If anyone is interested I will post my findings on the comparison.
