I am guessing the spdif connection with the Sigma is superior or preferred.

justubes.......The Aurender N10 music server's oven controlled crystal oscillator clock is a more accurate clock than is the voltage controlled crystal oscillator in the Esoteric K-01X. In addition, the fully shielded proprietary s/pdif output stage in the N10 delivers exceptional performance. The higher data transfer rates supported by the USB output don't concern me because I am not interested in DSD playback from my music server. I enjoy DSD playback direct from SACD discs played directly from the Esoteric K-01X transport. The Shunyata Sigma s/pdif digital coaxial cable between the Aurender N10 and the Esoteric k-01X is delivering astonishing performance. There is no need to mess with perfection.
