Cable question


I know this has been asked before and I've read though some threads, although they seemed to be fairly old.  So here goes.

Is there an actual difference...and I mean an AUDIBLE difference...between toslink and coax from a CD player to DAC? 

Thanks in advance. 

PS...I really AM a robot, but I do what I have to do...

@rnrmf1971 nailed it.  It all depends on how the sending unit's outputs are implemented, and on how the receiving unit's inputs are implemented.  You might hear a big different, a slight difference, or no difference at all.  The cable doesn't exist in a vacuum (so to speak).
