Streamer to Denafrips Iris to Pontus need cable suggestions please

I’ve got a Iris on the way to mate to a Pontus and have no idea of the type or brand or the quality/price cable I will need. It’s coming from Auralic g2 which has usb, coax, aes,  tos, lan. L-link. 
 

What type and brand/ model do I go from Auralic to Iris. Then what type cable and then brand/ model do I use fro Auralic to Pontus.

 

There will be a HiDiamond RCA’s going from Pontus to Audio Hungary a50i. Audience au24 se and TG Audio speaker cables going to Joseph audio Pulsar and Reference 3a towers. 
 

I know this is a lot to ask but I am not familiar with digital cables. Only digital cable I ever owned is a spdif. I’m using a JPS Labs superconductor true digital coax from streamer to Pontus now. Can I get away without spending a lot of money since some say it’s just digital, probably not, sure hope so.

Thanks everyone, glad to hear USB is way to go. Guy that sold me Iris threw in a a DB Labs The Essential USB for $20 extra,retail $300 have no idea if it’s good or not so I’ll use it for now. 
 

The Iris is the 12th so it has the added RJ45 cable, have no clue on this one either. I will look at DH Labs ( like the price) and AES/EBU. What’s the story on the RJ45 since they added it in the 12th does that make it better a better connection?

I’m going to order the DH Labs hdmi, I hear some say the shorter the better. I may even be able to go half meter but is this necessary? What is the break in period on hdmi, I hate breaking in cables.
