The problem with optical toslink is that the light emitting diodes (LED) cannot light up fast enough to produce a perfect square wave. The wave comes out almost curvy (almost like an analog sine wave). You also have potential problems with the light receiver. As far as how this affects sound quality, I can't really say. But I have compared toslink to COAX and COAX is always better as long as you have a good digital cable.
