I tried the coax1 input this weekend using a friend's Wadia iTransport 171, a Stereovox coax cable and an iPod Classic. The coax input opened the sound a little more than the toslink input with better detail in the lower midrange and upper bass areas. It wasn't a huge difference but one that I could tell was there. So to list the inputs in my preference order - coax1, toslink, and then usb.
I'm a little concerned with the remote but I only use it to change inputs and with the toslink input being the only one I use, I don't see changing it very often if ever. Still, it is the only way to change the input function as well as change the volume if being used as a dac/pre. I've thought about ordering a spare one just to be on the safe side.
Good luck with you new setup, let us know how the hiFace/coax interface works out.
