i think optical is different than spdif. coaxial is optical
When Should You Use SPDIF?
Digital audio connections should be used whenever possible to obtain the highest sound quality. A common question that arises for consumers is when to use SPDIF and when to use HDMI. If you are connecting two pieces of audio equipment, then you will likely have to use SPDIF since there will not be an HDMI connection on the audio data source. If the two pieces of equipment don’t have SPDIF connections, then RCA cables will be the back-up; however, on most modern consumer audio equipment either optical TOSLINK or coaxial connections will be available. When connecting video and audio between devices, then the type of connection will primarily depend on the connection options available on both pieces of equipment. It is also becoming more common to have a mix of both HDMI and SPDIF connections on home theater setups based on the maximum number of HDMI connections available on the theater receiver and television.
