The MX 132 has 3 optical and 4 coaxial digital inputs. I use a 3' coaxial cable to connect my Squeezebox 3's digital output to my MX132, instead of the Squeezeboxe's optical TOSLINK output.
The reason - I've read that there's less 'jitter' on a coaxial digital output, as opposed to optical. I've never A/B'd the two cables, though, to see if I can hear any real difference.
