What's better out from CD player: coax or optical?

I was told by Steven the owner of Straightwire to go with coax for wider bandwidth and better sound

For anything tied to A TV, you might do better with optical. In audio it was coax, but is now best to go by ear in your system. I still prefer coax in my main audio only system. Newer DAC's are closing the gap it seems since some do better with the jitter coming in them.

there is a greater variety of coax digital cables than toslink, which should increase the probability of finding one which will do a better job than a toslink.

i believe it also depends upon the particular dac and transport. i have always preferred coax

Coax lows - optical highs

The main difference is coax has a higher bandwidth. But they are both very high and you probably won't notice the difference.

Try them both and let your ears tell you.

Oh, once you use either, it's no longer a CD player, it's a transport.

Most seem to think coax is better.
I think it has something to do with the process that it takes to turn light pulses into a digital signal.
