optical or coaxial audio cable?


My Sony DVD player has both optical and coaxial digital outputs. Which do you think will give me the better sound?

It's my understanding that over time, the coax will be the better choice. Glass fiber WILL develop microfractures each and every time it moves, rendering the cable more and more opaque. After a while, its ability to transmit data will degrade. The metal coax should sweeten over time, as the crystals in the wire align. This is all assuming that you keep your coax terminal connections clean and fresh, of course.
