Optical Toslink cable quality? Is there a difference?

Hi there,

My understanding of digital signals is that there should be no difference between different cables.  Like HDMI cables, either it transmits the data, or it doesn't, right?  So what is the difference?  Why pay more than $6 for Toslink cable that you can get off KabelDirekt - Amazon?  What would be the difference in sound?

Thanks!

also the key to good Toslink is the connectors

and... HDMI could possibly introduce ground issues, which an optical interface cannot
