The HiFi-M8 is meant to be a very versatile product but I think asking it to have an extra connection on an already packed front panel simply to serve as a bridge between a computer and another DAC is asking a bit too much of it's versatility.
Think of this situation as well.
I now have a Bifrost with USB in but I am thinking about upgrading to Gungnir. If I had the M8 with coaxial out, then I won't have to order the Gungnir with USB and save even more money out of that. It is still being debated here but most desktop DACs don't have good USB implementations and having a coaxial or optical out from portable devices like CLAS and M8 is super useful for most of us whose main source is a laptop.
