BNC or Coax?

Hi Everybody.

In connecting a USB converter (like a Trends 10.1 or CryoParts Pop Pulse) to a DAC, is BNC better than coax?

I do understand that BNC is a connector, not a cable. My understansing is that HD video signals (like from DVD and BD) are faster (greater bandwith?) than digital audio signals (from CD, PC). I have heard that BNC beats coax for video (via composite analog or by 75ohm digital), but is about the same for digital audio. Comments?

Why would you choose the BNC connector over RCA? Tighter connection? But, there are "locking" RCA connectors. It seems that cables w/ BNC connectors are always more expensive than the same cable with RCA connectors. Also, with many components RCA connections come standard, but it costs extra for BNC connections. Is it possible that BNC connections/connectors are a carry over from pro audio where a secure connection is vitally important.
