Hey guys, I am in need of an optical cable and did a bit of searching on the forum and saw glass toslink recommended alot. I dont not want to spend a great deal of money so can anyone recommend either of the following I have found?

GLASS TOSLINK DIGITAL OPTICAL CABLE (3 METER) (9.8ft) - eBay Digital Interconnects, Audio Cables Connectors, A V Accessories Cables, Consumer Electronics. (end time 02-Mar-08 00:30:36 AEDST)

Parts Express:dayton GOC-12 Glass Optical Digital Cable 12 ft.

Thanks

60 USD for a toslink cable is considered not expensive now?

MCM electronics used to have glass toslink for less than $10. I would check them out. $60 is way too much.

I think all toslink cables are the same, as long as its not bent too much or its construction is solid. Just go for the cheapest glass one that you can get, I don't think it makes any difference.

I use this cable and can recommend it. It is very good quality.
Note that you linked to a 3 meter cable.
The shorter ones are much cheaper.

I think the Parts Express ones went up recently, I don't remember them being that expensive.

Looks like MCM has gone up as well:
2m Glass Digital Optical Cables : 24-6490

This is what I used when I had my DAC-AH:

AudiogoN ForSale: Glass Toslink Digital Optical

Good reputation, good build and a good cable.
