Optical or coaxial - which one better for digital


Hi, I in the market for a digital cable to go from my transport to the DAC. My transport gives me the option of using either an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable. I would appreciate any feedback/thoughts whether one is better than the other. Any brand recommendations would be appreciated as well.

Thank you.

When you say 'Optical' do you mean Toslink or ST-Optical. Toslink is considered by many to be the 'bottom of the bucket' when it comes to digital connections. In my experience, ST-Optical is an entirely different matter. Which would sound best differs greatly with how the interface is utilized in your gear, but if I were in your shoes and one of the choices was ST-Optical, I would be seriously trying it.
