Is AES/EBU or SPDIF connection preferred by Aurender N10, N20 owners?

I'm a new owner of a used Aurender N10.  Currently I'm using a Black Cat Silverstar SPDIF/BNC cable to connect between the N10 and my DAC (Audio Aero Capitol Reference).  I'm curious if Aurender N10 or N20 owners have found connecting with AES/EBU digital cables to provide superior sound quality over comparable SPDIF digital cables.

If yes, are there any high value, giant slaying AES/EBU digital cables I should know about?

Thanks... I'll hang up and listen.

I own the Aurender N20 Music Server with BOTH USB and AES/EBU digital outputs to my MSB Premier DAC. In all cases, I prefer the AEB/EBU connection. Based on all cases, when switching back and forth between USB and AES/EBU, I always found the AES/EBU connection to be the most musical. 

My Aurender connects to my DAC using the Shunyata Omega AES/EBU Digital 1.5 meter cable.
