Just a note of thanks. In the past I have been disillusioned seeing the range of toslink cable pricing then after using them thinking I was nuts because it just did not sound as I would expect. Some years back I had a Elite DVD player that just sounded wonderful. I'm betting it was delivered with glass and through system changes and a replaced bad cable I put plastic into the system not knowing better.

I am sure what I've used is low end plastic based on price and the store I bought it from. I just ordered some glass cables from the source you list here. Their pricing is good. I'm looking forward to hearing if this is what makes the difference.

I'm replacing all my optical cables for glass. Not only will I get to use my current Blu-ray player for reference but will get to compare my Squeezebox when streaming higher bandwidth audio into my Marantz & Magnapan system. This will be real interesting comparing plastic verses glass verses the digital connection on the Squeezebox.

Thanks again.
