I use both with the same Pioneer transport and my Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 and can change to either cable at the push of a button. I think the Toslink sounds a bit more organic/rich in the midrange, so I usually like it for female vocals and other music with good recordings of brass and other midrange instruments.
The coax, on the other hand sounds a little faster/crisper and perhaps more dynamic on other recordings that exploit these virtues. Neither cable sounds best on all music...
