Any audiophile grade optical cables?

Take a look at the Wireworld Super Nova 5+ optical cable. It is all glass and not plastic and sounds great.

Haven't used either of their recommended cables. Bought the Van Den Hul Optocoupler, received it today, wrong cable... so can't help you with whether it makes a difference/how it sounds. About $100 CDN new from distributor.

Oh, boy.........

I don't have time to 'splain all of this, but I would not use glass fiber unless it is at least 1 km long. That is what the laser diodes are designed to work into. Shorter lengths cause too much light to reflect back. Before you flame me, go ask the manufacturers of the laser diode transmitters. That stuff was designed for telecom use, and I don't know of many in the high-end biz that come from telecom. The result is that few in the biz really understand it. They just pretend that they do.

The VDH Optocoupler is an excellent optical cable (I have used it), but in my experience, 110 ohm digital cables generally sound better.

Are there any online dealers/dealers selling VDH Optocoupler optical cable in the USA?
