Many (all?) studios would now use a house clock to lock everything. However, this wasn't always the case. The "myth" I was referring to was the assertion that optical always sounds worse than coax. IMHO that is simply not true. I have found either no discernible difference or a very slight difference/preference either way depending on the components of the system. YMMV.
