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

75-Ohm SPDF and USB traditionally considered to be better type of connection for audio, however comparison is kind a not fair due to lack of high quality Toslink cables on the market. In situations where you have to use interconnect longer then 5ft Toslink could be optimal and superior over other. If you have to use Tosliink, the Borosilicate Glass fiber cable is way better than plastic fiber.
