COAX or Optical?

I know that both coaxial and optical cables provide a digital out source, but is there any difference in quality

Co-ax has higher bandwidth so should be better if you have the choice. Doubt you would notice though.

This is an absolutley perennial chestnut.

Check out any DVD or home cinema forum and you`ll be able to find debates on this. Put simply, try them both, and choose the one you like. It`s pretty much all personal preference, and like fecker says, it`s unlikely you`d be able to tell on a blind test which was which anyway.
