Sound Quality of Cables Used With Bluesound Node

Has any one used and/or compared sound quality using optical, coaxial and usb a to b cables on a Bluesound Node. What are the differences?

Node running into DA2 dac module on a McIntosh C2700 preamp. Optical was the worst. USB the best. The only way I can describe it as I went from optical to coax to USB is that each one presented more clarity, definition, and better soundstage over the other.
