I agree that S/PDIF digital coaxial is superior vs. S/PDIF Toslink, but sometimes there's no choice about the matter...

The Xfinity X1 digital CATV DVR box is essentially a computer that requires a boot-up process in order to function. It even reboots automatically overnight to transmit/refresh data. The audio options do not include remote-controlled line-level stereo outputs as per usual. The only options are fixed output line-level, HDMI digital audio interface, or S/PDIF Toslink output.
