Pontus or Venus - which inputs and cables

Have set aside the funds to pull the trigger on either a Denafrips Pontus 15th or a Venus 12th.  Whichever comes up first at the right price.

I have an SMSL TP200T CD transport with I2S, AES/EBU, Optical and Coaxial outputs and the Eversolo A6 Streamer with USB, Optical, Coax, and HDMI outputs.

Which port would you use for each device?  Do cables make a difference?  I always use very good cables but not crazy expensive.

Digital cables, as well as non-digital cables, make no objective difference, especially digital.

I own denafrips Dacs. I skipped the Pontus line and jump at the Venus (12th)

never regretted this purchase. I owned a Chord Qu test and for me, a big jump overall.  I match it with an Eversolo streamer. via USB. 

no fussing and no regrets.
