The large majority of Toslink cables use a plastic conductor that can compromise their performance. There are some Toslink optical cables that use a glass conductor which is supposedly much better but I haven't tried one. It has been my experience that a high quality true 75 ohm coaxial cable will easily outperform the best optical cables I have tried. I also find there are significant differences in sound between different coaxial cables. This will depend a lot on the dac and transport you are using.
DIGITAL OUT: Optical Cable vs. Coaxial Cable
Hi all!
When trying to get the best sound from your DVD player, do you use the Optical Cable or Coaxial Cable? I have always been using Optical Cable and never really use the Coaxial Cable.
I just like to which method is the best to get the maximum sound quality.
Thanks for any advice!!!!!!
