What is the best audio connection

[buitbyty]

I was wondering what is the best connection for listening to my music for the best audio experience.

I have been been playing my flac files via plex at 16/44 - however today I noticed if I play via my mini then audio out to my ultra the but rate is higher.

Thoughts?

It can be transcoded / upsampled but won't be "better" than the source. Better is subjective.
