McIntosh C2500 digital inputs preference

For owners of this particular preamp, if you can share which input you use and perhaps you tried all and one of them sounded better then the others.
Coax digital or optical digital or USB digital?
In my case I'll connect a Lumin U1 mini streamer transport. I could use either of the above digital inputs, but presently only have a coax digital cable, somewhere in midclass.
I would invest in a higher end cable, any format, if I can hear back a couple proven cases.
The C2500 has the latest firmware, DAC works well.
Thanks!

On mine the USB input is enabled, works fine.
Did not buy either the C2500 for the DAC, but it's not bad at all.
This preamp is the most flexible in it's category and I'm utilizing it actually to almost to its full potential.
Just want to sort out lastly this digital thing.
