Digital Output, Optical or Conventional Coaxial?


Just curious about this, which digital output, optical or conventional coaxial, do you prefer to use from your CD, DVD or Blu-ray/HD player do you prefer to use when connecting to a processor? Why do you prefer one connection over another?

Personally I use the optical digital output from my Pioneer Elite BDP-94HD player to connect to a Krell 7.1 HT processor. Sonically, there is no obvious difference between this and the conventional coaxial link. However, there is absolutely no hum on the optical cable link.

Duh. What is component digital? Is there a principle hidden in these recommendations? In other words, why?
