Topic: Which is better digital input to ADI-2 DAC? Coax or Toslink

I can connect from my Bluesound Node 2 streamer using either a Coax Digital cable or Toslink (Wireworld SperNova 6).
Is there a difference?
Thanks.

Optical has the advantage of galvanic decoupling, means no electrical connection that might introduce hum or noise under certain circumstances.

Thanks Daniel.
KaiS: That's what I remember.  So as long as there's no difference to the RME, I will use the Toslink.
