spdif vs toslink


any difference between RCA spdif and a plastic toslink connection? I am sending it from a computer to a DAC.
Pro's con's?....sound quality...effect of cables?
thanks in advance!

I would consider going for a glass toslink. I got one from the internet--search audiogon for "glass" low cost--$40. high quality sound. am using it for my home theater setup. Big improvement over the previous junk but that was just a long composite video cable. I have read that glass is better than coax. good luck Dan
