Depends on the streamer clock. What streamer are we talking about here?
Esoteric owners, USB or S/PDIF?
USB or S/PDIF
Assuming that equal quality cables are used, which provides the best SQ when connecting a streamer to my K-05XD?
I’m leaning towards an Aurender N200 or N20.

@audphile1 Aurender N200 or N20. I currently have a Bryston BDP-3. |
Hi, I have connected my streamer (Esoteric N03T) to my Esoteric dac by USB. I gather this has the advantage that using an asynchronous USB connection means the clock of the dac governs the data flow which supposedly eliminates jitter. Subjectively speaking: it sounds great to me. I haven't compared with another connection though. Maybe less important: according to the Esoteric manual, USB connection allows for higher bit rates. I haven't as yet come across 32 bit music on Qobuz. |
