Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Which is better format sonically: USB or S/DIF?

So far, I received radically different viewpoints. One, Gordon Rankin, favors USB, and the second Alex Peychev, who favors SP/DIF. Not surprisingly, each one sells equipmnet using their favorite interface.
I am determined to migrate my systen to hard-drive based transport, but I'm stuck at the DAC point. If I go Rankin's USB, I'll get a MAC laptop as my intface/server, as he recommends.

Thanks,
David Shapiro
