Ditto Sdcampbell. My experience is the same. Sony DSS to Lexicon MC1. The sound is better with the Monster Toslink . I have not tried one of the truly expensive ones though.
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.
