Two Sources, One DAC

Hi all, 

Thinking of dusting off my Denon SACD/DVD/CD player.  It's a bit dated, so was thinking would I be better off running it through a more modern DAC?  If I were to do that is there any reason I cannot also run my Node 2i through it also?   I see Schitt has optical, dig coax and USB on a couple of their models, for example.  If this is a good idea, any guidance on which connection to use where?  

Could be a rookie question, if so feel free to let me know.  

Thanks in advance.

It is fine idea, i use optical for my old CD player, coax for the new BR/SACD etc and USB for network/disk player

USB and I2S inputs will give you the ultra HI-RES options like DSD512 and PCM 384KHz not available in other inputs, usually RCA coax would give up to 24/192KHz (which is very decent by the way) but if you want to try even higher you need USB or I2S. Of course you need to find music in these formats, not available through streaming.

I am buying these formats from NativeDSD and for streaming I prefer TIDAL
