I just reread the thread and I haven't found *anybody* really complaining about the sound quality of ATV analog. It's not a good thing to make unfounded statements like that 'cause the next guy is going to take it on faith that you read everthing and that it's so, repeat it, etc. It evolves to ATV generally stinks, and it becomes a common yet unwarranted view of the ATV.
Nevertheless, given the choice I'd pick optical over analog.
