Nsgarch, Toslink cable is now available with GLASS stranding. Glass Toslink made a HUGE improvement over the cheapo plastic Toslink. And this was in a relatively modest system!
Digital Cable Choice; how critical is it?
I am a beleiver that analog cables play a big part in a system's sonic performance.
I am giving consideration to adding an external DAC to my system, for the first time. Always using a single box digital source, I have no experience with digital cables.
I really am a music guy & not a computer/techie guy. So, considering that the digital information that runs from the DAC to the Preamp is 1's & 0's or bits & bytes or whatever they are called; how critical is it to the sonic perfromance that I use an elaborate digital cable, as I have done with my analog interconnects?
Is the sound quality affected with the use of different cables, while still in the digital domain?
Your experience is appreciated
