[QUOTE="Beat_Dominator, post: 2020458, member: 560107"] This depends on a few things. From my readings of "audiophile" publications digital coax is given the praise in quality on short runs (about 3ft. or so). Toslink optical suffers from a relitively poor interface between emitter and detector (the plug and the socket). For a while there was a push for AT&T's (called an ST I think?) optical connection which works like a BNC as you twist it on. Of course digital coax will begin to have considerable signal loss over a length of about 20ft or so, and depending on your equip. much shorter than that even; here optical really has a big advantage.
