Good Optical Coaxial cable under $200 ????

I am looking for a good optical coax that is reasonably priced and still performs well . I know some people say they are all the same , but i am not sure i believe that. I know i have some different Toslinks and they do NOT sound the same.

What's an optical coax?

Sounds like an oxymoron. Do you mean something that converts an electrical signal to an optical signal, conducts it through an optical cable, and then converts it back to an electrical signal?

One thing to keep in mind is the length. You should use 1.5 meter and longer, or extremely short. See this review,

I have heard this cable compared to many others, some quite a bit more expensive, and it was always the best overall sound.

I used for years and liked very much the Mapleshade Clearview cables (non-Plus version) - great sound and great value.
