Was wondering if anyone knew anything here about digital audio
connections on audio systems? My system has both optical (fiber
optic)

as well as coaxil. I want to connect my DVD player up digitally to
the

system. Which digital connection is better, optical or coaxil? I
thought I heard somewhere that coaxil is a 'slower' connection and
optical gets the signal thru faster?
Can anyone confirm this?

No, coaxial is NOT "slower" than optical in any practical way.

You will likely not be able to detect ANY difference between optical
(Toslink) and coaxial (S/PDIF). Coaxial may be the more practical
as you may already have a spare RCA patch cable lying about.

(PS: there is an extra "a" in coaxial)
