Any audiophile grade optical cables?

I am using the XLO Sig. series digital cable ($350 1M) for my 2-ch system and would like to know if there is any optical cable in that performance range from the HD-DVD player to my AV processor?

Or is there a high quality optical to coax convertor available? Thanks for your time.

I'm no scientist, but I don't think that you need very expensive cables for optical applications. You are just transmitting 1's and 0's. Check out lifatec for optical cables. They are made here in the good ol USA and they are experts in fiber technology and cheap as dirt. I have some and they are great.....

It's been awhile for me, but about 6 years ago when I had a Rotel 5-channel amp and its matching processor, I had excellent results for my T.V and video sound using the top DH Labs Toslink cable. I believe it retailed for $50.00 back then. YMMV

Hello you guys an optical cable done properly with proper polished glass and connectors will not induce any jitter ,and is actually more accurate ,the transmitting
crystal is the biggest factor. The wireworld Super Nova 5+
will compete with any $5-600 BNC digital cable .I know have had a few thrown at me to compare thanks Paul.
