Exactly: since you can reliably move 45Mbps over coax (think

I thought you had to be adamant that One Way is The True Way to be a
true audiophile...
I can see the logic for both sides... especially on problems with
optical (since there is an electrical->optical and reverse a

toslink or Coax interfaces are not implemented as well as it might be

If you want to try optical, some people think glass optical is better
than the typical tosslink. You can get a good and cheap glass optical

Some people think optical is a bit laid back and coax is more li
It may be argued that coax is better (optical has less loss over a
couple of miles, but is harder to get a perfect contact), but I think
it's unlikely you'll hear a huge difference. Your current method
should be fine for now.
