Innuos Pulse Incoming

Im pulling the trigger on an Innous Pulse, upgrade from Bluesound Node 2i (my first and only streamer) which is currently connected to my amp via COAX.  Would like feedback on what is the best way to connect the Pulse to a McIntosh MA8950-  Coax, S/PDIF, USB?  Also, what ethernet cable do you all suggest, what CAT?

Thanks

On the connection questions the best thing if you can is to try each and see which sounds best. On the ethernet question I was astonished at the great sound I got from Bluejeans ethernet cables for all of $17 for 1M.

On my Pulse I find the USB connection to sound the best. It may depend on the cable you use for each connection though. I have a great digital coax cable and tried many USB cables (all under $300). I liked the Analysis Plus Purple Plus the best.

Hi , I have the Pulse Mini with a LPS into a Yiggy with the newest USB card. As said above you will have  to decide which clock to utilize. I went with the USB, but you have the MAC. Maybe check online with the Cable Company as they offer advice and have a library you can rent from. For me I went with a Wire World Starlight Platinum USB. When I want a softer presentation I use a Cardas Clear. Happy Hunting , Mike
