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?

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.
Glass is far superior in my system. I did a lot of A/B comparison. Using the latest model from Wireworld. Also, the shorter the length of the cable the better.
