You probably have a plastic Toslink. The glass Toslinks are so much better than glass that it's almost amazing. Glass Toslinks rival, or even exceed, coax (yes, it's true). I didn' believe it until I tried one myself. There was a recent post (maybe 3 weeks ago) on this subject on Audiogon digital, and on that basis I bought one - glad I did.
The problem is most people have plastic and don't know it. If the information with the cable doesn't specify it's glass, then it's almost certainly plastic.
I tried a glass Toslink for a big $19 for 6 feet from uniqueproductsonline.com Really well made and just great. What do you have to lose?
