I have fiber optic cables hooked up to both my hd cable box and dvd player going to my receiver for sound. I seem to remember reading somewhere that fiber optic is not the best cable to use for sound. What's the current opinion on this set up?

My opinion is that you won't really be able to hear a difference either way. I usually think of the coax connector having a better physical connection, while the optical connection is immune to RF and EM noise. I've been using both for years, and haven't had any problems with either, although it's pretty easy to see that the optical is indeed the less weak of the two physical connections.
Can you try your DVD player with a coax and optical connection at the same time, then switch back and forth between the two? Let us know if you can hear a difference!
My $0.02, and good luck.
