We use coax because of the better connection.
In the audiophile world I have heard that toslink
is a
brighter and a more digital sound than coax.
I agree, I've heard the same thing; also concur that the connections are more foolproof on coax.
OTOH, a TOSLink connection could be proof against potential ground/hum issues (if there weren't any other L/V connections between the two pieces of gear, natch).
