Toslink cables...do they make a difference?


Hello fellow Audiogoners. I would like to pose a few questions regarding Toslink cables. Do they make a significant impact in sound, as perhaps speaker cables would in a system. Also does the composition of the cable make a difference, i.e. glass vs polymer. I have a streamer connected to my amplifier via a Toslink cable. Any recommendations before I consider trying to upgrade the cable with little return on my investment. Thanks for your comments.

Not trying to solicit you to buy.But I have three toslinks available. One from Unique Products(1 mtr.), one from Kimber Opt 1 (2 mtr.),and one Audioquest Vodka (.75mtr). They sound completely different from each other with the Unique being very detailed / upfront,and the Kimber being laid back / relaxed,but not lacking detail. The Audioquest being the most neutral / accurate. I prefer the Kimber sonics.I have also tried a Lifatec, and the one from DH Labs.They all sound different from one another,and all have their strengths and weaknesses, it just depends on your preferences. Hopes this helps you a little.
