Toslink Cables

What are you people using for Toslink cables and who makes a better cable. I am looking for a high quality Toslink cable to use between a Mac Mini and a DAC a Cal Alpha with a 24/96 upgrade with a Toslink input . I am looking at a Nordost White light Glass fiber toslink cable anybody use this cable or the Audioquest glass fiber cable ? Both of the cables are Toslink and not ATT ST cables. Thanks Marc

I'm using a glass Toslink cable between an Airport Express and Benchmark DAC that I bought here from member Captnstarstripe. It's nicely made and seems to work perfectly. I think it's a real bargain at $40.

Marc,

I also use the Glass Toslink from member Captnstarstripe. It's a nice cable and a great value. You are welcome to borrow mine to demo it in you system if you want to try it before plopping down your $40. I bought mine a few years ago based on a review on AA.

Enjoy,

TIC

I had always liked the wireworld cable. then Steve from The Cable Company loaned me one made by Cardas from his cable lending library. It sounded warmer and, even at the higher price, I bought one from him.

I also have had excellent experience with the Glass Toslink cable. I have one that I bought from Captnstarstripe and a longer one from http://www.uniqueproductsonline.com/gltodiopca.html. They appear to be the same cable, except for length and price. This is high quality cable with 280 glass (not plastic) fibers.
