So my DVD player has both of these options for audio out. I'm sort of forced to use the Digital Coaxial over the Optical audio out because my receiver does not have any more Optical inputs left.
Is there any sound quality differences between the two? It seems like a digital coax would not be even able to produce a stereo sound since it is only a 1 rca cable as opposed to 2 rca cables required for stereo playback. With that said, does a digital coax really generate separate channel output for 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound like an optical connection does? Will it also like optical connection be able to distinguish between stereo and surround sound?
Thanks!
