Coax Digital compared to seperate 5.1 for movies.

When watching movies I run a Synergistic Resolution Reference X2 Active Digital Coax for 5.1 channel movies. What would be the difference if I ran 5 seperate channel RCA's and .1channel for LFE?? Would I get better channel seperation,resolution, detail etc... Also for stereo music would I benefit with a left/right RCA???

Some dvd players and some dvd's have a 2ch 24/96 option
So as you see it is sometimes a menu option on the disc. Players differ, /discs differ. Back when I had the Pioneer Elite '09; that player had a 2ch output as well as a 5.1-both on coax. I always listened to Hell Freezes Over in 2ch.--A coax going to my Theta 2ch dac.

What about for music 2 channel????
Number of channels is irrelevant. It's the hardware and processing.

It's understanded about hardware, but when listening to 2 channel music(I don't like multi), Is the coax technically better than seperate stereo RCA's or XLR's??? Has anyone heard a difference???

The difference has little to do with whether one type of interconnect is better but the performance of what they are interconnecting. In your case, the poor analog input stages on the prepro is the deciding factor.
