1)  There is no need to use any of those fancy clock schemes, a simple
mux is all that is needed. 

2) I use a 74LVC1G97 hooked up as a mux.

3) It is J17 on the left side of the board. I'll see If I can get a
placement picture posted. I have a PDF, I'll see if I can post that. Pin
1 is on the right in this orientation. The cable comes out of the upper
side of the connector. 

4) the DF1706 doesn't sound nearly as good as the upsampling we are
doing in software. I have done exactly what you are talking about with a
very good discrete IV stage for the 1704s and what we are doing in CSP
sounds better. But of course you are free to try anything you want, but
it is going to have a hard time sounding as good. You might want to
forget about the 1706 and feed the 1704s direct from the I2S (with a
splitter of course) and let the software do the upsampling. Not only
will it sound better but you don't have to program the DF1706.

I think you are misunderstanding the SPI interface on this connector.
The SPI pins of J17 are connected to the SPI pins of the DAC chips, NOT
the processor. They are there to allow someone to program the DSP block
in the DAC chips from an external system. If you want to get at an SPI
port from the processor, that is on connector J11 which contains all the
display interfaces. 

It is important to understand that J11 and J17 are on different power
domains. J11 is on the "digital domain" which includes the processor and
digital interfaces such as Ethernet and USB. J17 is on the "audio
domain" which includes the DAC chips, low jitter clocks etc. Any
interface between the two should be done with GMR isolators. Thus if you
want to control the DF1706 from the processor you will need to get the
SPI signals from J11 and run them through isolators to your DAC board.
This also means you will need two power supplies so you can keep the
domains separate. 

I hope this is clear, I'm a little out of it today.
