Which is better? AES/EBU or coaxial?

AES/EBU will almost always sound better with the highest end equipment. but remember, if you have a AES/EBU port, you must certainly have coax, too. buy them both and sell that which disappoints.

Depends on your taste. AES/EBU = dynamic, and coaxial = romantic.

I've tried both and marginally prefer Cardas AES/EBU over Cardas Lightning coaxial. I think there is as much variation within cable type than there is between cable type. Cheers. Craig

SweetJesusGoodGodAlmighty, Craig. while you are probably right, well, here we go again.......

I too have preferred AES/EBU connection...and disagree with Lafish's characterization of the difference, unless "romantic" = less information getting through, less cleanly...
