Which transport did you get, SACD or not? I usually use coax. If you insist on Toshiba Link, one place to check out is Audio Advisor.

I got the original PWT. Since I don't have any SACDs, there is no need for such a player. Their most recent model that plays SACDs goes for around $7k, doesn't it? With the J3 costing about $650, that would definitely qualify as overkill in my book.

Certainly glass not plastic, but I'd suggest don't bother with toslink. Coax is likely better and AES/EBU better still if both bits of kit being connected offer this XLR-type connection.

  I thought I'd play with different types of connections. I have about 4 coax cables, so it seemed like fun to try a completely different type, although no great amounts of money will be spent initially on a toslink cable.
