Hi, I just got a 5.1 surround sound system, and it came with 3 analog cables to connect it to the computer, but it can also use a digital optical or coaxial cable. My sound card has SPDIF coaxial out, so should I get a coax cable, or just leave the analog ones? is there any difference in sound quality?

Probably go with the digital coaxial. Has a similar specification to a composite video cable, so you can get one at your local department store.
