Wiim Ultra with external DAC: what output?

[Vignus]

I'm using Wiim Ultra with an external DAC (Gustard) and I would like to hear you guys opinion on what output sounds better: coax, optical or USB?

I know it really boils down to personal taste, but I'm still very curious about your findings. Can you share?

USB. USB is asynchronous. A DAC with higher precision clocks can make a difference in timbre, tempo and staging.

Connect all 3 then you make a switch from wiim ultra audio out. From here you can compare which sounds that you prefer. Every listener is different. Some say usb, some say coax. Let your ear decide from here.
