Is still the same? best digital cable is AES/EBU

HI,
IN THEORY, AES/EBU IS BETTER. HOWEVER, MANY MANUFACTURERS SHORTCUT THIS CONNECTION.
UNLESS YOUR USING DODSON, THETA,DCS, ETC., IT"S MAY BE A BETTER CHOICE USE THE SPDIF.

Toslink is a crappy interface from an engineering standards perspective. There isn't a lot that can be done to enhance it. That is why toslink cables are relatively inexpensive. IMO weakest part of toslink is the connector. I put Hal-O interconnect dampers on mine to minimize the wiggle.

Between AES/EBU and SPDIF, I think AES/EBU has the best engineering standard. But actual sound quality will depend on the design and implementation of the cable and the interface on the equipment.
