Innuos Pulse Incoming


Im pulling the trigger on an Innous Pulse, upgrade from Bluesound Node 2i (my first and only streamer) which is currently connected to my amp via COAX.  Would like feedback on what is the best way to connect the Pulse to a McIntosh MA8950-  Coax, S/PDIF, USB?  Also, what ethernet cable do you all suggest, what CAT?

Thanks

Hopefully now this adds another voice to the argument of why one would want to upgrade from blue sound. 
she is a beautiful machine and loves having fancy dangling things coming off her back end.

I am currently using synergistic research foundation, SX power cable, Audio quest, carbon AES, DJ labs ethernet cable. 

was gonna say hopefully you’re going to enjoy, but that is not necessary.

Overview

S/PDIF, or Sony/Philips Digital Interface, is a standard for transmitting digital audio between devices like TVs, CD players, and amplifiers. It's a uni-directional format that supports compressed surround sound and uncompressed stereo audio. S/PDIF is known for its high fidelity and better sound reproduction because it doesn't add noise to the audio signal. It can carry two channels of uncompressed PCM audio or compressed 5.1/7.1 surround sound like Dolby Digital or DTS.

Yes your coax is an S/PDIF along with your optical out. 
my guess is you’re gonna go on a USB cable search but then that’s just my guess enjoy
