Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink

Is there a real difference in the sound quality between a plastic and a glass Toslink cable used on your Apple computer running into a DAC?

There are a number of lengths available, search for 'Sonicwave glass' and they show up. You'll need a mini-Toslink to Toslink adapter but those are very inexpensive and can be found on amazon.com or monoprice.com by searching for mini Toslink adapter. I use a glass cable I bought from a member on this site who used to offer them regularly. Haven't tried the Sonicwave but have seen it recommended several times.
