Any sound difference with Toslink cables? Doesn't seem like there are many out there.
This can be a very contentious topic, but I'll throw my two cents in. Toslink carries a digital signal, much like USB. As long as the cable is of reasonable quality and data is being transferred, no, there won't be any difference.
Love your avatar.
Now back on topic, I have heard better micro detail retrieval with good vs. poor toslink cables. The best bang for your buck optical cable that I've heard is this one:

And it only cost $40. But the differences against the Radio shack no-name brand was quite noticeable.
Is there a difference between glass and non-glass optical cable ? I'm going to try coaxial as well because I expect my dac to perform a lot better than my disc player.
