Optimum length for Toslink digital cable?


Some say that for 75 ohm digital cable, 1.5m is optimal length (something to do with minimizing internal reflections or something??). Anyways- who knows- I use a 1m Illuminations D-60 and don't know any better!!

OK- question is- for Toslink (from Satellite to A/V Processor), IS there also an optimal cable length as well? Do the same 'rules' apply as with regualar coax digital cables? Does quality of Toslink cable really make a difference?

Finally- I am thinking of going for the Audioquest Optilink 4 Toslink- anyone heard it? What's the best Toslink cable out there?

Thanks Charlie- I have also heard the sonic differences are somewhat minimized with Toslink vs. coax/XLR, etc.
