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!

When it comes to Toslink there are many (including me) who use glass instead of plastic for a more accurate and realistic sound. I’ve used Lifatec cables for years and remain very happy with their products. Their cables are reasonably priced for the quality. You can check them out here:
