Optical Cable recommendations

Does anyone have any optical cable recommendations?
I want to pull the stream from my Blusound Node 2i into my Schiit Gugnier DAC just for giggles. 
I was told by someone at a cable company that most of the glass cables are made by only a couple manufacturers and not much real difference among them. Makes me wonder about some of the expensive optical cables I've seen.  I've tried plastic Tosslink in the last and it didn't cut it. 
Thanks in advance.

but that used a bnc type connection it is the highest quality optical I’ve used.
Sorry it’s a ST connection not bnc as I stated, used with indexing fluid that was way ahead of anything

So you've ordered from multiple manufacturers...?
If one isn't Lifatec then there's something wrong with you.
