Just for a bit of historical perspective, the AES/EBU spec was designed
so that digital audio could be handled in a studio environment just as
if it was analogue. So not just mic cables, but patch panels and
permanent wiring could all cary the 'new' digital audio.  This really
mattered if you were a legacy broadcaster and had a significant
investment in studio infrastructure.  As has been pointed out
elsewhere, the AES/EBU spec is not 'better' than S/PDIF, it was
designed for a different purpose.
