How much improvement with better toslink cable?


I'm running a signal from my main computer system to a second system via Apple TV connected to a DAC via and cheap freebie toslink cable. Just wondering if it would improve things a lot to get a better toslink cable?

I've got an echoaudio Layla 3g and tested the Bel Canto Dac3, the Berkley Alpha Dac, and the Audio Research Dac3, with some very expensive coax cables. All sounded better with the optical connection. Yet the guy at Berkley thought I was nuts for using optical. Is there some prejudice against optical, it seems like it should obviously be a better way to transmit digital information.

Btw, it was Radioshack optical cable, maybe I'll go get me some glass eh?
