The problems with the optical interface are:
- The electrical signal must be converted to an optical one at the
source
- The cable manufacturers (especially the cheap ones) often screw up
the termination (connection of the plugs), such that some of the
light is "reflected" within the cable, causing bad information.
- The optical signal needs to be converted back into an electrical
one at the other end.
Considering how fragile a digital signal can be, I would rather avoid
the above issues.
