When is optical or coax cable or usb best?


Just hopping into non-redbook digital. Either from a Macbook pro or something like an Oppo as transport, when do you use which?
I've tried optical toslink mini from Mac to DAC (Lifatec ), and various digital cables from Oppo to DAC ( Stereolab/Stereovox, Apogee Wyde Eye, Chord).
Not tried any usb's yet.

For once I'm lost in the woods with few breadcrumbs left.....help?

Thanks. I'm learning that if the DAC is USB you need a very good cable.
And if you're going optical you want glass and not plastic.
