I'm told via the grapevine that Toslink (optical cables) essentially must be kept very straight because any kind of bending will restrict the light signal. It is for this reason optical cable are traditionally kept very short (2 feet?). The aforementioned stated I have no personal experience with optical cabling.
Optical Audio Outputs. Is there audible differences or are they all the same?
Im not wondering about cables but the output. Lets say I put an AQ Diamond optilink from my small budget blu-ray player to a top of the line high system end system. Do i have to consider the "quality" of the output from the blu-ray player?
