Toslink


I am looking at a DAC that would require me to connect my streamer via toslink.  I have read in the past that Toslink is inferior to SPDIF and USB connections.

Is that still true?

Does it depend on the the Toslink cable used?

Thanks

Toslink can be good from a computer (like and old Mac) as it knocks out the computer noise with a physical electrical break . Modern streamers seem pretty quiet to me. All other things being equal they are bandwidth limited.
