• Answer:

  You receiver may have two digital audio inputs (optical and coaxial), but it most likely treats them as one input, So it may choose one port over the other if both are connected at the same time. But if you do decide to buy a coaxial converter, there should not be any difference in quality when using it. But instead you could buy an optical audio switch: http://www.amazon.com/Nyrius-SW100-Digital-Selector-Compatible/dp/B000812QC6 . It allows you to have three devices connected to an optical input at the same time, you just turn the dial to change which device's audio will be heard. There are cheaper models, but this one was highly rated.
