Toslink newbie

Posted by psgary on May 12, 2025 at 11:08:02:

Just added a used PS Audio PerfectWave Transport to my system. That on the advice of inmates here at Digital. Great upgrade. It's getting hard to imagine the sound of my system can get much better.

Currently the coaxial out is being used. But recently a friend suggested I try using the toslink connection between the PWT and the Geshelli J3. Okay. Why not? He's an audio technician and feels optical sounds a bit better than coax.

Where to start is the question. I know nothing about toslink cables. What are some good cables? Does price mean that much? I've seen used toslinks for $35, new for $99. I tend to favor used cables. Many times they offer more bang for the buck, but new is fine.

Thanks for any advice.
