I would really like to see some reviews on it. Honestly, I have little trouble hearing different results from coax to optical. Coax ususally sounds "warmer" and "fuller". But plastic vs. glass?

Here you go:

You also search audiogon.com for individual reviews/comments.

Edit: I definately agree with the 1st review, that the music seems easier to follow. It just has a better flow to it that seemed to suck me into the music more.

Well I just got my Van de Hul optical cable at

http://gallery.bcentral.com/GID51342...ler-Mk-ll.aspx

and it replaces a $20.00 monster cable mini to RCA analog cable. NO COMPARISON. of course I am now using a Meridian 203 DAC as well into my cosmic amp with stock senn 650 cables... detail, width of soundstage.. all if it, much much better. again no comparison...

I use a nice Sound Professionals Glass Toslink cable with some mini adapters I picked up from RadioShack from my pcdp to microstack.
