Digital Audio Cables: Wire or Optical


I am trying to connect my CD/DVD player to my processor. My basic question is: Should I use the RCA digital wire interconnect or an optical cable for the audio? What is truly the difference? What is everyone experiences and/or suggestions?

Thanks

I had the same question after I had used an optical link for a number of months. I went to a coaxial link recently and did an A/B comparision. The audio is more realistic on the coax. The sound went from just musical notes to the reproduction of the musical experience. The soundstage presence was missing on the optical. I'll not go back to optical.
