usb vs toslink?


Is it superior or hype?
currently i have my laptop computer connect to my dac by Apple AE by toslink cable. Is there a big improvement to use CAT 5 directly from computer to a USB converter or USB DAC.
has anyone try this , please share your experience

thanks

Toslink now comes in two flavors:

1) Plastic
2) Glass

The glass is a quantum leap in fidelity improvement over the plastic. van den Hul Octocoupler is probably the best glass Toslink out there!
van den Hul Octocoupler is available in 3 configurations:

1) Toslink to Toslink
2) Mini to Toslink
3) Mini to Mini

Ckorody, when Toslink first came out, I thought that it was only available in plastic, as opposed to the AT&T Glass cable [not compatible with the Toslink terminations].
