Which cable 'type' is best for streaming? USB vs HDMI?


What is the consensus on what the best type of cable is for connecting -- say -- for example ... a laptop running roon / tidal.... to a av preamp ( marantz 7704 ) Is it USB or is it HDMI?

From an audio quality perspective -- Will running Roon from laptop wirelessly be less than desirable vs connecting laptop with ethernet and then run cable X to AV preamp ?
