Does length matter with Toslink cables


I have read the threads on toslink cable recommendations. I would like to know if length matters with Toslink cables? I am down to Nordost WLG, WireWorld SuperNova 3+ or 5+ and Van Den Hul Optocoupler toslink cables at the $200 and below price point. Your recommedations would be helpful.

Happy Listening.

Are "Toslinks" really GLASS optical fibre? Plastic maybe. Real glass fibre can go for miles, but part of this is that digital data waveforms can be greatly distorted and still be properly decoded at the destination as ones and zeros. Somehow audiophiles have adopted the idea that distorted digital pulses lead to degraded sound. Like UFOs, it's a waste of time to argue about this.
