6moons.com did a comparo of all digital connections. I am using toslink, and it is the second best digital cable I've used. This toslink is made of glass btw, which is a lot smoother sounding than plastic ones. Also, optical connections involve an additional conversion stage, digital pulse to optical then back to digital pulse, so whether optical cables will work for you depends on the quality of the optical converters in your trans and dac. I use Meridian, and they seem fine.
Optical Vs. Coaxial Digital - Which Interconnect?
I have both connections to my preamp and have read different things about both types. I recently began improving my interconnects and speaker cables and there was some obvious improvement in the sound.
Anybody have any thoughts on coax vs. Optical digital connection to dac/preamp or any web links to articles?
