toslink is always better than USB
USB: USB connections can suffer from electromagnetic interference, which may degrade audio quality, especially in environments with many electronic devices. Additionally, connection issues like cable wear can hinder audio fidelity.
Toslink: Being an optical medium, Toslink is more resilient to electromagnetic interference. This makes it ideal for setups where multiple electronic devices are in close proximity as it ensures a cleaner signal transfer.
if you insist to use USB, buy an expensive noise shield USB cable, or noise eliminator (such as iFi).
