I have swapped around many times between aes/ebu - coax and usb and have used different equipment
I have a Bryston sp3/DCS dac+ upsampler+clock in my main system and indeed I can switch at a press of a couple of buttons between aes/coax/usb
Aes/ebu is much better - I would hate to be limited to the lesser options
But then again you do get people denigrating xlr (better) compared to rca (worse) .... getting it the wrong way round as they haven't really tested.
So people will always disagree for the sake of it.
Just wait for those on this forum who will chime in saying that bell wire is as good as any!
