Which of my components has the better built in DAC?


Hi, I have a Mcintosh c2700 preamp and also have the 2024 Bluesound Node, both units have a "built in" DAC.
I know that there are better options available but this is what I have to work with today.
Does anybody have a preference or recommendation which to use? Also what is the recommended hook up , digital coax or the optical?

Ultimately I will need to test out the options but please help me with a good starting point.
Thanks for any help!!

Neither are not that good, but the Mac would be better. 
rofl on the post usb being the best option. This is the worst option, and you didn’t even mention what the 2 best are.
