I have a Hercules Fortissimo III 7.1 running Logitech Z-680 THX 5.1 Speakers and up until today, I was using the RCA mini connections.
As I was purchasing some other stuff anyway, I dialed up the cable section at Newegg and scored a 6ft optical cable for $20. I wanted to report the enormous difference in sound clarity, richness, and volume created by the digi connection versus the analog.
I had to go through and remix the EQ on my sound card and media player (Quintessential) to tune for the new and improved sound. Boy, I thought the system sounded good before, now I'm completely thrilled.
If you have the equipment to use the optical (or digital coax) and haven't yet purchased the cable, do so now! You will not regret it.
