Toslink or coax?

Thanks for the input,

I've found all of the cables I need on the Blue Jeans site and went coax on all but one of the digitals. It's for an Xbox and I need toslink there. I'm confused about which cable that is from the Blue Jeans site? Any ideas which one for a toslink application? Also, is getting the cables the best (least$) way or are there other dealers out there?

Thanks again,

Scott

Here is the link to Blue Jeans digital cables (Coax). They do not offer Toslink to my knowledge.

These are about as inexpensive as I have seen. I have their video and digital coax cables and feel they are unbeatable for the price. There are better digital coax cables but you need a very high end digital rig to justify the investment (in my opinion).

Thanks again for the reply,

If I were to step it up a bit, what brand should I look to? You can see my modest system in my 'System' link. I don't want to go overboard but understand the need for quality cables.

I have had great results with e-ticketcables. They are sold here on audiogon. The prices are very nice for the quality of cable you are getting.

I would not upgrade beyond the Blue Jeans if I were you.

I have four digital cables and tests with my Sony and Scott Nixon tube DAC show shockingly little difference until you get to the VERY expensive Purist Audio Digital ($1400.00 retail).

In other words, my digital improves about the same as the cable equals the cost of the entire digital system. That makes about as much sense as running Dynaco's and buying Valhalla to wire to the speakers ($4200.00 cable on $600.00 amps).

Don't get me wrong, I am one of those guys that really believe in cable, just look at what's in my own system. I'm just saying keep the cable investment in line with the associated equipment.

Assuming you still have the equipment listed in your virtual thread, the Blue Jeans will likely provide all you need. If your obsessed with the idea of a test, buy the Blue Jeans for $15.00 and leave a deposit with a couple of local dealers and do a shoot out.
