spdif or 8 a/outs

So the problem is: i want to buy new wires, to save my beats from akai to mbox 2 pro, firstly I want to buy spdif wire, but
one man told me that analog 8 a/outs will be more true , than spdif.

so what and why you use ( spdif or 8 a/outs ) ?

thanks

i use spdif if just two tracking shit, but use the 8 outs when tracking out in combination with spdif so i have line level.

cool thing about spdif is out = L + R, so if you want to hard pan by frequency, you can send higher freqs to L and mid-lower freqs to R and record in stereo and EQ in the daw

I use TRS out of the 1k into an API A2D then that goes 2 channel SPDIF into an Mbox. Very effective.
