I have a TV and V+ HD box. Both of them only have 'Optical Audio out'.
And on my surround system I am looking into buying, it has 'Optical Audio in' and 'Digital Coaxial in'.
I have heard that both Optical Audio and Digital Coaxial produce real 5.1, but that Digital Coaxial is better in quality. Is this true?
It is implied on the Dolby website, too, where they state Digital Coaxial as quality "Highest" and Optical Audio as quality "Higher".
I obviously want the best for my setup.
Please tell me what the real difference between Optical and Coaxial is, and whether or not there is a quality difference. I know that optical turns it into light and coaxial doesn't, but other than that I know little about these two. Is there a quality difference?
Thanks.
