As I have been browsing the internet over the last 2 -3 weeks in preparation for my purchase of the Outlaw gear I just ordered, I came across some forums and articles where it was said that the Digital Coaxial cable was better than the Optical (TosLink).

They are both digital except with one being an electrical connection and the other an optical one. I don’t see why one would have any difference over the other unless they are using a different type of digital protocol for transmission.

In the networking world optical is the best, especially over distance, because you don’t have to worry about interference on an optical signal.

Is this true and if so can it be explained to me why?

I am putting some plans together on how I will be hooking up my 950 and I have used optical in the past because I never could tell the difference between coaxial and optical.

Thanks…
