Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

My computer only has USB, but my CDP has both coaxial and Toslink outputs. Questions...

With my computer, I only have the choice of USB. My CDP offers both coaxial and optical digital outputs, so I suppose I'll discover my preference between those two (so far, I only have coax and USB cables on their way).

Though the direct comparison wouldn't apply to my situation, would you describe the differences you heard between Toslink and USB? Which specific Toslink cable would you recommend if I might like to compare it to my coax cable?

The Bifrost was just shipped today (USPS Priority, so it should be here very soon! :)). If it makes a wonderful difference for both my main and computer systems, I'll purchase another (second one would be for main system, so could do without the USB input I've had included on this one).
