Preferred Audio Output, USB or 3.5mm?


What is the preferred 2CH audio out selection from an iMac (or PC) to my preamp, USB or the 3.5mm headphone jack? Either output will run through a separate DAC before the preamp. Mainly listening to iTunes or Pandora.

How would HDMI be better?

Pick up an asynchronous USB or FireWire DAC and jitter will not be a concern.
