Which is better? AES/EBU or coaxial?

To my ears AES sounds better, then coaxial RCA digital interface. DO you any of you guys have any hard evidence? Or opinions?

Thanks guys!!

However, the answer to your question depends upon the design of the equipment in question, especially the circuit topology. AES/EBU doesn't always sound better IMO.
