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.

My Auralic G2.1 streamer requires setup changes to swap from USB to Coax making it about a minute long process to switch and not so easy to A/B.

unless you have the same cable it also makes it really hard to compare which is better. But you can see which in your setup you prefer with what you have.

that all being said, I do have both cables plugged in simultaneously and I hope that there is no downside to that.
