Good Toslink Cable From Squeezebox Receiver To DAC

Hi

I am abroad and am getting a friend to get me a Squeezebox Duet from the US. I am planning to hook it up to my Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC via a Toslink cable. What is a good cable (cost effective) to order from the US?

I know coaxial is better than Toslink but the coaxial input into my DAC is already taken by my CD Transport.

Any help appreciated speedily please as my friend will be leaving the US soon.

Thanks

I've tried a few BNC/RCA coax cables, some expensive, some not. Optical too. But no glass opt's.

I settled on the Stereovox xv2, $150 new, FOR 1M BNC. I understand BNC also has some added advantages via signal transmission.

I found the wire straight forward and revealing... if it's in the recording you will hear it, yet quite neutral. Not bright or clinical. Very nice. Especially for the $$$. I kept it over one costing 4 - 5 times as much.

Luck.
