Digital Coaxial is considered the better way to go, at least from all I’ve read. So that is what I use. However, to be honest, I’ve used toslink or photo optic cable prior and can’t say I notice an apreciable difference in sound quality. Same thing with the silver cables (silver plated) VS copper speaker cable debate.... they both sound good to me. I like my Qed silver anniversaries....however, when I can afford them, I will grab a pair of auditorium 23’s....
