To use or not to use, optical, coaxial,XLR RCA.

I have a Teac TN 300 turntable it has a USB port on hack, that is to put LP to flash drive? As well I have a USB port on front of my newer Marantz 6006 CD player, that is for playing from a flash drive? or putting CD to Flash?

While I am being shamed by my ignorance, are optical outputs of my 6006 CD player better to use to my preamp than the RCA, or are the Coaxial ports better to send to the preamp?

Someone please help me get over my memories of my 4 and 8 track tape players and understand the "Gig of today".

You have to read the directions for each piece of equipment.  USB ports are often for maintenance--adding a firmware update.  I remember one Streamer that I really wanted to use a USB out and the usb on the back was for firmware in.  

So nobody here knows the answer to all these quetions.  Generally you can now google the manual for a piece of equipment. You can figure it out.
