This video doesn't really explain the difference at all

thank you for showing how to plug that rectangle one through that gray something, faith in internet restored

*FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS A REAL ANSWER: Use a high quality HDMI OR Coax..* *Coaxial* has superior quality but only if you use an actual coax cable (not an RCA). However it is also susceptible to noise / interference from other devices & cables. *Optical* isolated signal and high bandwidth, but beware 90% of receivers are limited to 48/96KHz via optical (as opposed to 24-bit/192kHz on coax and HDMI). It was originally intended for 2 channel devices like CD players, not modern surround sound. Use optical if you notice buzzing noise from your other cables. This is an older format that only stuck around because of widespread support & compatibility. *HDMI* Ironically the simplest option is arguably the best. Mid to High range HDMI cables from last couple years are superior to Optical & in some cases Coax.. Only reason not to use HDMI is if you have an older receiver that does not support uncompressed HDMI audio. Just make sure you have a proper cable & not the $5 chinese shit from bargain bin at walmart TL:DR: Instead of using both HDMI and coaxial for your surround sound, get one higher quality HDMI (if your receiver supports it). Otherwise use a coax. Cheap cables sound slightly worse and the most expensive cable is a waste of money. Mid range priced are usually best option

Thank you for the answer. I thought that you could use an ordinary RCA cable for coax connection. Am I wrong?

@@francohic U can use a ordinary rca cable for coax connection. I’m using one right now. Cost me $7 for a pair, 10’, well-shielded. Sound is superb.

Short, sweet and to the point! Thanks!

As soon as I heard the audio...I "walked downstairs" to the comments section to join in on the laughs. LOL

Since a boy, I been a really fan from the good music sound, the only way to find out is to try both cables, the difference between both cables is, the digital optical cable deliver a clear and sharp sound, but it won't give you a solid bass, the sound of a coaxial cable it won't give you a sharp sound, but is clear and the bass is more deep and stronger, if you can use an equalizer you can have a sharp sound and well but with a lot better bass sound and if you use a tube amplifier with a quality press amp, you can have almost the old console record players. Bottom of line, optical digital will give good sound on a low volume, with coaxial you can enjoy the music with high volume with less distortion

Ohh why does the bass decrease in optical cable?

Thank you. Seems I have both. Quality of sounds is perfect!

I was running an optical cable. I heard co-ax sounds better so I tried it. Not sure why but on my system the difference was night and day. Way more bass and detail with the coax. I am hearing things in songs I wasn’t hearing before.

is the difference greater than 3mm vs optical?

Hello,I have an ASUS XONAR DX sound cart and I use 2 ways for listening .The first one is using the SPDFI port for my amplifier (optical connection ) and the second one is a coaxial connection (not using the soundcard in this way) . I notice, that the sound quality with the soundcard (optical connection) is by far better..Really fantastic quality...BUT.. When I listen from Spotify Premium (better sound quality..they say) in some classical songs (with piano) I hear a tricky sound like deformations.When I turn it to coaxial connection the deformations disappear. I hope to understand my problem..Why this happens ??

Thanks for letting me know.

funny how this vidoe has bad sound

Great video! I learnt heaps! MAGA (Make Audio Great Again!) from New Zealand

I have a device that has a RCA connector with a red light shining out of it and its labeled optical out. Now what like of cable should I use for this?

Can a digital coax cable be connected directly to a speaker from a blu ray player bypassing the amp? I only want to listen to CDs and want a simple setup.

Three movies, all the same, nothing usefull, nothing relevant ! WTF ?!?

i always use fiber optic just to prevent RF noise going threw the metal in the coaxial cable.

I have a Samsung smart TV 32 inch model # 32j4303. The audio output is digital optical audio output mainly for connecting with sound systems or amplifiers. However, it does not have a 3.5 mm jack output. Tell me in what way can I connect my earphones with the TV as in which splitters or connectors or converters or cables do I need to purchase ???

I like one word answer which is best sound quality.

Does any way to connect coaxial tv output to speaker optical input system? If yes, does it need any specific converter...

I just bought an Onkyo cd player-why would it have digital output options in the back? It has optical and coax options. Can I connect a coax cable from the cd player to the receiver?

I buy.MI tv ,tv audio output s/pdif out and I coxial cable ,I used basic digital to analog converter ,but output is right and left ,only one side is working , whether I want to change cable or converter

silly question.. My spdif (square)cables also came with adapters for each end of the cable that looks like it MIGHT allow me to plug this cable into a (mini round rca) coaxial port by simply attaching the adapter to the end of the cable.. is this correct?? otherwise what are they for then if the way the signal is sent different? ... i guess it's for mini toslink..

I have my TV led with connector Digital Coax (SPDIF) and my Soundbar with Digital Optical how should I connect them? And by the way I have Jack in my TV and and another in the Soundbar, should I use this one (I think it would be low quality) or the first one. Thanks a lot.

I wish my new motherboard still had coax output. I don't like optical and prefer HDMI but the speaker don't have HDMI. So I'm stuck with toslink

Hai My Speaker optical digital audio in available but my led digital audio out only how to connected

good, I have the coaxial output and headphones on my tv. when connecting the coaxial to my sound equipment through the audio converter the sound power is low (it may be by the coaxial cable) and when I connect the TV to the equipment through the headphone output, the sound is heard well with power but In the background a buzzing sound is disturbing. that you recommend

is there any cable with 1 side digital optical tos-link and other side digital coax? wanted to connect tv and sound bar

@Yiannis2112

No there is no such cable. You'll need an adapter/converter that converts optical/TOSHLINK to coaxial. Something like this: www.audiophonics.fr/en/optical-toslink-adapters/optical-toslink-to-coaxial-spdif-digital-adapter-p-13412.html

how can I identify a digital coaxial cable from standard RCA?

A quick word about the difference between digital coax cables and typical RCA audio cables would have been great.

@taxivid Probably doesn't matter if it's a short cable. Worth a try. Easy to find the digital spec cables on Amazon if you want to make sure. I think that any real problems with audio coax could be intermittent, sketchy and hard to isolate. Better to just pay the few extra dollars and remove all doubt.

If it says "coaxial" at its back (orange input at 0:50), yes. Your amplifier/receiver needs to have a coaxial out too, also (usually...I've seen black ones too) in orange colour.

Have a look on my channel and tell me what do you think. I made video explaining differences.

This is barely an explanation of the physical differences. Toslink is usually slower than Coax since most devices with Toslink uses LEDs. But then again Toslink cables isolate and are not acting as antennas... why am I even writing this...

there is no difference between this two cables, they are both digital)

And where is the explanation?

This video is horrendous. There's other differences, like jitter, bandwidth, etc. I came here because I don't remember the bandwidth difference and if Digital Coax/SPIDF is capable of more than 2 channels and was hoping for a quick description there. How sad that these people can't mention that in a video about differences between the two.

Very informative. However, I am surprised there are no cables that have a coaxial part on one end and an optical part on the other. Meaning if such a cable exists, you can hook up your optical input on your sound system and the coaxial out on your HDTV or VCR or DVD/Blu-Ray Player or vice versa. The best of both worlds as they say. What do you think? You think a Coaxial/Optical Digital Cable sounds like a good idea. If it's so, it is better than wasting money on a Coaxial to Optical converter.

@ShowMeCables

Hello, Thanks for the feedback. Digital Coax sends a low voltage electrical signal across a copper conductor, where the Optical Cable is sending a light signal across a plastic/glass tube, so unfortunately a converter is the only way to connect the two signal types. A converter will convert the electrical signal to a light signal or vice versa.
