the cheap one will notably degrade the already compromised toslink sound quality. A quality one will probably contain re-clocking. Which will delay a signal somewhat. So a quality one may be a problem inf the application is delay sensitive, like a HT install.
I opened up my cheap $50 toslink splitter and modified it all to heck, in all the requisite ways. No dice. Still a degradation compared to a direct toslink hook-up.
Coaxial-electrical is the better way to go, if you can. Avoid toslink optical as much as is possible.
