I was wondering which is better and what's the difference between the two? I'm confused on either buying digital or coax to hook up from my 2 dvd players to my home theater receiver. I will be listening to dvd's and cd's most of the time...
Cpatbay, don't you mean TOSLink and not just plain optical? When I think optical I still think AT&T glass. Even if AT&T glass isn't widely used anymore.
I think it depends also on the kind of DVD players and TVs. For mid-grade products, either one will work well. For hi-grade products, optical or toslink will work better. I have the component cables hook-up and like the video quality a lot, definitely superior than coaxial and s-video.
I presently have an older sony dvd player (that I plan to sell soon) and have a nad dvd player that I mostly play dvd's (zoom option comes quite handy) and cd's (to go with my nad receiver).
So, I need to upgrade my present cables because the ones that I'm using now on my old sony amp and mostly audio/video cables. I also have a 32" sony wega (that I should upgrade soon for a 42" LCD) and I'm using component cables for one of the dvd player & s-video for the other.
