Recommendation for Digital Coax


Looking for a good digital coax to go from my Bluesound Node 2i to my first stand alone DAC, an Aqua La Voce S2. Preferably something that won't break the bank.

In order of SQ

1. I2s however this is my project for this year to implement I2s so I cannot verify this in practice, only research.

2. USB controversial choice here but with the correct DAC and DDC it is capable of outclassing AES/EBU.

3.AES/EBU Excellent and for most people it will provide the best sound.

4.BNC SPDIF Very, very close to AES/EBU.

5.RCA SPDIF Least favorable of the above.

6.Toslink usually only capable of 24/96 kHz and is the worst choice you can make. Only suitable for a soundbar if you don't have another choice. Better than HDMI eARC however, but that may be down to equipment.
