DAC Connections to streamer?

What’s best connection between streamer and dac - usb, coax, optical?  
Usb can handle dsd but optical doesn’t seem too.  Optical seems limited to 192.  Bandwidth for usb seems far superior vs other connects.  But if using a streamer, seems I can only use optical or coaxial (bluesound) to link streamer and dac.

Do streamers allow a connection of a usb between streamer and dac?  Bluesound doesn’t seem to.
If you use a streamer can you connect to a dac with usb?

The new Sonore microRendu 1.5. Is due out in oct for $399. Ie Ethernet in and usb out.

Not sure how it allows connection between bluesound and a chord tt2 dac.

Like idea to use bnc rca female adapter.  Only 1.27 each from mono.  Assume quality not an issue?  Will go nuts and buy 2.

Coaxial bandwidth so much better vs optical.

An Outgoing usb on streamers would be of great value, most like me are so naive about usb connect value between streamer and dac. 

Thanks.

Thanks,
Have a chord tt2 dac and only has optical, usb and bnc. Strange no coax.  Can usb cable connect to streamer from the dac? 

Not sure I understand use of usb if not connected to a pc.
