Optical Cable for Micro DAC

What's a good, reasonably priced optical cable for the Micro DAC - something around 50 bucks or less? Is an optical input better than coax or usb? Also what kind of optical cable inserts into the micro dac? I find the instruction manual to be a bit misleading because it says that a typical toslink cable can be used for input, but a typical toslink is square and the input on the micro dac is round... :/

That cable will fit no problem...supposedly decent too for ~$25.

hmm. I don't see any connectors on my source optical out or Micro DAC optical in that look like those will fit :/ Thanks for posting the link though.

Does anyone know if either of these would work?

Those ones are the right sort.

The mini toslink fits in the microdac whilst the other end of those cables is a standard toslink connection.
