DAC connection: which type gives highest fidelity?


Suppose one wants to connect two digital devices, as in a streamer to an outboard DAC or similar.

Which is the highest fidelity connection?  USB, coaxial, or other?

Thanks!

Just curious about the Node/Denafrips issues. I feed my Denafrips Ares II via the Node (2021) using only digital RCA coax. I listen to Tidal and Qobuz at all bit and sampling rates available; I’ve never witnessed this at all to be honest.

I’ve seen this issue documented here and on other forums, but maybe the issue was resolved with newer generation of Node products? Or am I just lucky? 🍀
