Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700

First of all let me start by saying I've been an avid reader of the forums for quite some time but this is my first thread...

I have both the Technics SU-R1000 (Integrated) and the Technics SL-G700 (CD / SACD & Streamer).

I am using a Raspberry Pi running Roopieee with audio going out through a HiFiBerry Digi+ hat (optical).

I use this for Tidal / Qobuz and also my own digitised CD library.

I know that the  SL-G700 uses a dual mono DAC circuit (AK4497 from Asahi Kasei) but I am unsure of what the SU-R1000 uses.

Question is, which input should I be utilizing?

Digital in to the streamer with analogue out to the amp
Digital in to the amp 

Any opinions appreciated!

Thank you.

@stephencowslip, addressing the original question - "  which input should I be utilizing? " ... use the SL-G700 in front of the SU-R1000.
The G700 Output has both XLR and SE output.
Use the G700 as your Network Transport as much as possible for Streaming Duty as the services would allow ( loose the Razzy ).

Use the USB input ... Berry Pi / Upgrade Power Supply or an Upgraded Streaming source.
