DAC basically has 3 digital inputs ( at least ) one USB and one
electrical RCA ( spdif ) and one optical fiber input .

touch has one electrical RCA ( spdiff ) the lonely yellow or orange one,
and a optical fiber output and optionally the USB could be used as
output with a special app .

Technically you have 2 or maybe 3 ways to conect these together , but if
we stick with the normally aviable ones it is the coax or optical aka
toslink .
Both works fine just pick one it works the same , you will not notice
any difference in operations other than the input selector on the DAC
.Touch has all outputs active all the time so there is no settings .

There are endless discussion on which is the best , but if we skip that
discussion you need a toslink optical fiber or a coax digital cable .

A good enough digital cable can be found at for example blue jean cable
, that avoids silly priced boutique stuff an optical toslink cable can
be found almost anywhere ,you migth already have one ,leftover from a
DVD player or similar .

So to which "sounds best" it depends on the implementation and the rest
of the system .
Coax should have better bandwith and thus be better than the usually
cheap stuff that is used for optical.
But optical has galvanic isolation , and all these assumption are just
that it comes down to how well the benchmark and Touch will work
together , I would have tried both .
The anticlimax can be that you can't hear any difference between them.

So it comes back to with a standard touch you can pick any of these two
options and it works .
