    HDMI or Optical only - back to the toslink option I fear, but thanks anyway Mike.

    I've tested 2 Toslinks and 1 Coax in my system.

    Stan's Toslink definitely sounds better than the £2 Toslink that I got from a Hifi show. But, my Digital Coax just edges it in terms of overall cohesiveness.

    I'm using DH Labs Silversonic D75.
    Not bad...not bad at all.

    i always find im much less aware in changes of sound quality when im using my eyes
    the digi box into 7520 made a good bit of difference but i wouldnt worry to much about the quality of cable if i were you.... unless of course you intend to listen to the radio via sky.... in which case ignor me
