Optical Optic

Which audio cables are better - RCA or optical?
If I get a sound card for my PC with an optic out, how would the optical sound output be better than the standard red and white RCA output?
I have a 5.1 ch. theater system.
thanks
again like everyone else RCA is only 2 channel stereo wile the optical gives you the full 5.1 (so does the digital coaxial, you can use one of the red or white rca cables to go from the appropriately labeled "digital coax" or "spdif" its usually orange or black)
so ultimately you could get a cheaper video card with just a digital coax, its one step below the optical. but if you have the money... just get the optical card and cable.
and sidenote- HDMI and optical are not the same, they now have this "HD audio" on alot of blu-rays that will only be carried by hdmi and recognised by "HD audio" ready players and recievers. i wish i could own it all instead of just install it haha

PhotoTechEDU Day 30: Imaging optics for the next decade
what is cheapest surround sound system with 2 optic inputs?
i'm looking for a surround sound system and all i really want is for it to have 2 optical inputs, one for the playstation and one for the tv sound. i don't need a dvd player or any other connections. just the two optical inputs. any suggestions?
This question reminds me of this one time when I was dropping mentos into diet coke bottles. At first I was all like "hey this is pretty cool". But then I was all like, "lets kick this up a notch". As a chemistry major, I understood the basic science behind it, so figured I would just scale the reaction up. I replaced the mentos with a firecracker and replaced the diet coke with a 5-gallon bucket of gasoline. I stood really really far back because as a chem major, I've read at least three books on the subject of science. Because I was so far back I believe it took ten tries before I could throw the firecracker and hit the bucket. When I did, I saw what can only be described as a miracle. First the light. So much light, everything else around me ceased to exist. I was no longer standing in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart. I was in a world of pure light. Then came the sound. It sounded like my cheapest surround sound system with two optic inputs, turned up to max volume while I blew some terrorists back to Babylon in modern warfare 2. And I don't mean blew in the sexual way either. Hope that helps.
