toslink can help eliminate ground loop issues, if you have them

Not true at all. Digital is not just ones and zeros. Please stop spreading this nonsense.

I love how you always manage to sidestep this debate jello, letting us all pulverize each other XD.

In my experience, it is a matter of what my devices output.

I have never had any noticeable issues with jitter using toslink in my setup, but I doubt that my setup is high enough fidelity in order to really notice the issue to begin with.

Most of my devices only output spdif over a toslink connection (xbox, ps2, media pc motherboard), so I do not have a terrible amount of choice in how I connect my devices.

If anything, I would prefer to use coaxial since it would be much cheaper to run a composite video cable for my audio than optical.

Overall I think in the VAST majority of cases, there are much bigger issues with people's systems in components, source, setup, and calibration where an issue like this doesn't make enough difference to worry about.

It may very well make a difference, but I don't think this is something significant enough that people should really be worrying about it.

Hehe, I knew as I read this thread that it would degenerate into a toslink vs. coax grind.
