Is AES/EBU or SPDIF connection preferred by Aurender N10, N20 owners?

I'm a new owner of a used Aurender N10.  Currently I'm using a Black Cat Silverstar SPDIF/BNC cable to connect between the N10 and my DAC (Audio Aero Capitol Reference).  I'm curious if Aurender N10 or N20 owners have found connecting with AES/EBU digital cables to provide superior sound quality over comparable SPDIF digital cables.

If yes, are there any high value, giant slaying AES/EBU digital cables I should know about?

Thanks... I'll hang up and listen.

Congratulations on your purchase, the N10 is an excellent product.

Regarding your question I would say it all depends on your DAC but for PCM AES/EBU is most likely to be the best.

For DSD most DACs won't accept DSD over AES/EBU so either use DOP or USB for Native DSD.

I am using a Hi Diamond Reference AES/EBU and USB both have given good results without breaking the bank.
