Does that refer to speakers too? If so, i gotta give away my paradigms and pay a bazillion dollars for a BOSE system! I mean, it costs like a million times as much as my old ones, they GOT to be at least a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER!!! (My speakers are not worth a millionth of the price of a bose system. Im exaggerating, so dont think i got like speakers worth its weight in sh*t)

Sorry Bose Pro... I had to say it...

TOSlink is a Toshiba Brand Name. (TOShiba LINK)

Sony's version of the Toslink (Optical connection) is SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital Something Something)

Actually, i hear that OPTICAL is cheaper than Coaxial... Not sure though
