Dilemma: AV710 or Revolution 5.1?

[exon_s]

It will be used to do bit-perfect digital output to my receiver (and then a nice pair of KEF bookshelves

)

I already have a 75ohm coaxial cable. Chaintek AV710 has toslink while Revo 5.1 has coaxial output.

Take the cost of the toslink cable into account then AV710 and Revo 5.1 would cost about the same for me. I know AV710 has a decent stereo DAC on it but how is it on Revo 5.1?

Which one would you go with? Which one has better compatibility(with player programs) to do bit-perfect digital output?

Thanks guys!

AFAIK, COAX Digital is better than Optical. I am not sure, but I think someone here mod'ed their AV710 to include a COAX Out.
