I have the Pure i20 dock, which I've been using for a couple of years with happy results. For some reason, I decided to read the manual the other day. Maybe boredom got the best of me.
Anyway, the manual said that the optical out was the preferred connection over coaxial, but it didn't say why. Knowing what I know about digital connections, it seems the consensus is coaxial is preferred over optical.
I emailed the manufacturer, but I'm not expecting a response.
Does anyone know why the optical is preferred over coaxial on the Pure i20 dock? Maybe there's something to it because in many pictures here and personal accounts, it seems like more people use the optical over coaxial when it comes to this particular device. I've tried both and can't tell a difference beyond placebo.
