My 50th Post ! Any Optical Cables (Mini Toslink to Toslink Cable) Recommendation for my Lo-End Equipment?

[twoears&oneheart]

I use a DAC which connects to the computer.

I like to ask if Toslink has different grades and makes a Significant Audible difference between Industrial Crystal Grade and Normal Plastic Ones?

Please fill me in with your views!

thanks


Regards !

id recommend getting a cable from HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more!, nice and cheap for a quality product

Many of us here on Head-Fi get our TOS cables from Sysconcept in Canada (fast shipping to US)
Sys Concept Inc. Fiber Optic Products Attenuators, Patch cords, Laser Diodes, Connectors, MP3, Toslink, Hybrid Adapter and more
They'll do custom cables with custom lengths/connectors. Still cheaper than Best Buy/Circuit City, etc

I am very pleased with my Van den Hul The Optocoupler MK2.
Highly recommended!

I've been very happy with the middle-grade cables from Monoprice, for example: Audio Cables - Optical Toslink

They're cheap and ship quickly and are very friendly when I needed technical info or something unusual (shipping overseas to a friend, etc.)

Well, nothing major compared to my previous Monster Cable. But the build quality alone is well worth the price difference imo.
