Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink


Is there a real difference in the sound quality between a plastic and a glass Toslink cable used on your Apple computer running into a DAC?

Yes, absolutely! A great example is to think of your car window and lets pretend for a moment an angry girlfriend just tossed a brick through your windshield. Now, you have two choices: a clear trash bag affixed with duct tape OR a new glass windshield?

Ok, maybe a little over the top but the digital information is being transmitted as light, glass works better than plastic for this application.
