Default dvd player messed up sound when playing through optical.

thanks is coax noticeably worse than optical?


If there's a difference, its usually worse. In this case, its worth a try.
Just use a 3' RCA-RCA interconnect to see if it is any better.

In your case it's probably better.


Only if it actually works better. I've got my doubts, but it's worth a try.

It is said that coaxial has several advantages over ordinary TOSLINK
connections, a greater bandwidth being one of them.


Problem is, coax outputs are generally driver through a special lossy
transformer that rolls response off above about 12 MHz to reduce EMI.

The TOSLINK has the advantage of electrical (galvanical) separation
between components.


Agreed. And since light is a far less serious threat to the nice picture on
your TV set, opitical connections need not be bandwidth limited.


I wouldn't make a problem out of it, just use whatever works.


Agreed.
