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

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.

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

Try them both and let your ears tell you.

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

Coax lows - optical highs

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

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.

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