Optical cable vs. Digital interconnect

BTW- The reason for the toslinc only from sat.receivers, cd changers : copyright concerns. They don't want you to make to good a copy.Toslinc makes sure that doesn't happen. In a high resolution system the differences are LARGE. The same affair is presant within dvd audio, with their 24/96 mix-down to 48 of the audio signal.

I don't think Toslink is the only optical cable available. What about AT&T and other glass opitical cables? They are not Toslink.

the name says it all: "toss"link

Take into account I haven't tried this, but, I have had a few people in the manufacturing business tell me that if your equipment is pretty new then the toss link is the better connection. In the old days the loss in the toss link was the conversion from electrical to optical and back. They say the newer equipment has a much better conversion process therefore they believe the toss link is a great way to go as long as you are using a good toss link cable such as XLO or WireWorld or I have been told that even the Sony cable is good. It's worth a try, they are usually much cheaper than the coax. I am getting one myself to try.
