I suggest usb. rather leave something in that digital form rather than converting it to optical. sure it might be hype... but usb cable is cheaper than toslink anyways
I would actually recommend the optical. Macbook pros already have limited USB ports, so why not use the optical? Supposedly its bit perfect. Plus optical wont be as polluted by hard drive noise and other interference. If you're asking specifically about whether the D10 handles USB or optical inputs better, I don't know the answer, although I would still take a guess that overall optical is the better choice
In HeadphoneAddict's uber review of 13 USB DAC amps (forum f105), he expressly notes that the D10 sounds better through the optical input from his macbook pro vs. the USB, which was a contributing reason that nudged the D10 to the top of the list.
