Yes the Toslink cable affects the sound. I bought a Bluetooth streamer and connected it to my MSB link DAC 2 using the cheap little Toslink cable. It sounded terrible. I can't even describe how bad the music sounded. Bought an Audioquesr Optilink 3 and WOW. HUGE improvement. So streaming Tidal now sounds as good as CDs on my SONY SCD-XA5400es. Again. From unlistenable to fantastic, the cable matters.
Optical Toslink cable quality? Is there a difference?
Hi there,
My understanding of digital signals is that there should be no difference between different cables. Like HDMI cables, either it transmits the data, or it doesn't, right? So what is the difference? Why pay more than $6 for Toslink cable that you can get off KabelDirekt - Amazon? What would be the difference in sound?
Thanks!
