Digital optical, Coaxial Digital. difference in SQ? (1 Viewer)

[Matt Nevala]

As of now i am using my PS2 as my dvd player. i want to get this one samsung progressive scan DVD player soon, and i want to know what is a better way to connect it for digital 5.1 sound. the fiber optic or the coaxial digital cable? As of now im using the optical from my PS2 and there is only one optical input on my reciever. Id like to get digital input from both these sources, but if i use the coaxial for the new dvd player will i lose any sound quality? or should i use optical on the samsung and just forget about digital ouput on my PS2?
