> digital coax 0.9 m, DSE item C1394 $29.00 You can probably make them yourself from parts from DSE for about $5. 2 RCA connectors, 1m of shielded cable, and a soldering iron.
> digital optical 0.9m DSE item C1392 $50.00 Optical cables are non-trivial when it comes to connecting the end of the cable into some connector (and the connector into another connector) in a way which doesn't lose more light than absolutely necessary. Save your money because optical has no advantage over coax in the context of home audio equipment, and it's a lot more $$. Digital is digital, period. Sentences like (quote DSE product description) "Signal transmitted as light allows highest possible performance from audio equipment" can be summarized in one word: rubbish. There are many factors determining whether audio equipment is any good. "Signals transmitted as light" it *not* one of them. I could tell a story about what phantasies some bond&bond droid came up with for why I should connect a DVD player with a TV using a $300 cable... oh boy.
