USB and Coaxial at the same time?

Is there any issue with having a coaxial digital  cable and a USB cable connected to my streamer at the same time? I like to compare the two by switching the input to my DDC unit. Some recordings may sound better on one rather than the other? mI read somewhere this can be a problem but if so I don't know why? Thanks.

USB of course is the only choice for very high resolution formats and DSD

You are really ruling out HDMI?  Really?
 

You are trolling again. We’re taking about Aurender N200 streamer here. Coax and USB. No HDMI. Don’t derail the conversation. It’s rude.

I might try another USB.  The only problem is that with my setup it’s very hard to access the cables.
