what is a digital coaxial

[karpathion]

i have a roland vs-840gx. it has a digital coaxial out. well my pc has the same input. what kind of cable do i need to make this work. oddly enough i have never used this before. can i use a normal rca or do i need a specific cable for it.

Monster cable digital coaxial is what I use. I'm not sure who else makes them but I suspect there are others that are cheaper. I don't think you can use rca?
