Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink

I use a Silflex glass toslink cable from Lifatec on my iMac to DAC. Highly recommended. A huge step up from the $25 plastic optical cable I had before. Well worth the few dollars extra.

This is the place i bought mine, but they have changed a lot since i did over a year ago. So I cannot say they are the same product.

Here's the 1M Sonicwave glass Toslink cable on amazon for $25. There are a number of lengths available, search for 'Sonicwave glass' and they show up. You'll need a mini-Toslink to Toslink adapter but those are very inexpensive and can be found on amazon.com or monoprice.com by searching for mini Toslink adapter.

I use a glass cable I bought from a member on this site who used to offer them regularly. Haven't tried the Sonicwave but have seen it recommended several times.

I compared the Sys. Concept Inc. 1300 fiber plastic toslink to the Silfex glass toslink and the Sys. Concept Inc. cable was clearly better from my Apple TV music server.

Do not use an adapter for toslink whatever you decide to do!
