In general, Yes. I would say anything of decent quality (Pioneer, Yamaha, Onkyo, Dennon, etc...) made within the past three to four years should have this ability. The digital signal, if present, will override the RCA and only that signal will be pushed through your receiver.
If a break in the signal or a channel without a digital signal is encountered, the receivier will automatically filter the sound through the RCA cables. On most good receivers this is a seemless, undetectible switch (not sound quality wise of course). However, I've seen/heard less expensive receivers institute a small gap in sound as the switch takes place. If you can, avoid these models as it gets rather annoying if there are frequent signal interruptions.
I say go for it, you'll notice an exponential difference with the digital coax/optical connection.
Hope this helps.
