Is there any reason to choose 1 over the other ?
I will be transferring to PC and have the ability to use either and was just curious if 1 method is preferred over the other.
some say that optical is more susceptible to jitter than coax, but if you're simply transferring to a pc and converting to wav (vs playing back live), jitter (unless extreme) won't be a real issue.
thanks for the reply. i ended up just grabbing the toslink simply because it was closer.
but i wll keep the jitter issue in mind
I used an optical cable for transfer when i first got my d5, and had to recapture a bunch of shows because they had glitches in them. :( Lee Geddy made me a coax cable(sweet cord too ;D) and ive never had to capture a show twice since. :o
Lee Geddy makes killer custom cords and at a bargain too, look him up!
