I have a Ayon CD-5 which can be used as a stand alone DAC. I have USB, SPDIF and AES-EBU input on the DAC section.

I want to use my computer as the digital source and I was wondering which is the best input to use? My computer has built in USB and SPDIF output- but I believe I would need to add a Lynx card for AES/EBU output.

Which is the best digital output or is there no sonic difference?

Thanks.

Generally speaking, the coaxial spdif connection is superior to optical because it induce less jitter.
