Coax or USB between transport and DAC?

It’s been a long time since I had digital separates and I am thinking of getting a DAC to use with my Pioneer transport. Which cable offers better transfer, a coax or USB or is the difference minimal?

Thanks.

I would use coax; USB connections appear to be more variable than coax.
