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.

IIRC, TOSLINK has barely 7 MHz of bandwidth.
Have to look that one up, though. May be old information.

I've heard many times that the bandwidth is barely adequate but I just did
a quick Google and found
this.http://www.semicon.toshiba.co.jp/eng.../its2003_e.pdf

Seems like these devices have ample bandwidth. Don't know what was in use a
while back though.
