I have tried three different Toslink cables; Kimber. Monster Lightspeed 100 and Optichord (UK). I purchased the Optichord after reading a review in What Hi-Fi magazine. IMHO the Optichord is the clear winner. The music is smooth, full and clear. Some newer reviews have preferred the Van den Hul Toslink over the Optichord. I have found digital cables and connectors to make a big difference in sound. Reducing jitter improves depth, ambience, bass ...
Toslink Cable Upgrade?
Would like to know if anyone has tried using an upgraded toslink such as Audioquest, Kimber etc. between a Direct TV receiver and preamp/converter. Am currently using a monster toslink and would like to know if the sonic improvements are noticeable.
