Any audiophile grade optical cables?

I am using the XLO Sig. series digital cable ($350 1M) for my 2-ch system and would like to know if there is any optical cable in that performance range from the HD-DVD player to my AV processor?

Or is there a high quality optical to coax convertor available? Thanks for your time.

There are many sources of real glass optical TOSLINK cables. You don't have to spend a fortune on them.

But, TOSLINK will pass jitter more so than a digital RCA or DIN connector. If you have an option to use one of those other cables you should seriously think about it. The sound is definitely better.

Enjoy,
