Pretty self-explanatory. Are they?
Is there a fundamental difference between COAXIAL, TOSLINK, SPDIF, etc. optical channels? Given all else being equal (ie. quality of CD transport), should there be any difference between the sound coming from a CD player thru its optical outputs? What about different optical cables?
If so, how does this affect sound quality exactly?
