Which is better?
I didn't get a good answer from Google, and stopped reading when it got too technical.
Looking at buying a blu ray player.
Would I even notice the difference?

Quoted from oPinsesame:How about choice C, HDMI.
So I don't need either? Cool. Disregard.
Some blu rays have an optical and/or a coaxial or neither. Im guessing you would only need coaxial or optical if your sound system doesn't use hdmi. Because my reciever has hdmi, I don't need either.
Is this correct?
Quoted from amxfc3s:Correct. HDMI carries audio and video over the same cable. Optical is audio only. Never seen coax on a Blu-ray player.
Right. I guess I should have specified I was asking in regards to audio. If the audio carried by the hdmi cable is superior to the other two, I'm golden. I did find blu ray/4k players with optical and/or coax which my reciever would also accept. Which led to wondering which is best, and if I could even tell.
