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.

I used both coaxial and USB at the same time to test the sound of each on my Aurender N200. I called Aurender and they said it was not designed to use both cables in the unit at the same time. The difference was very slight. NowI only have coaxial connected.

i thought so too until I compared it to the coaxial.  It cut out the highs.

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