Toslink is a specification of the Electrical Industries Association of Japan (EIA-J 340). It could be that they wonder why we like Electrical Coax so much.
I say this because a few weeks go I ditched my 6 Mhz bandwidth Toslink IC with plastic filament and upgraded to Audioquest Optilink-4 Fused Silica Glass with locking brass Toslink terminations. The difference is absolutely shocking! I am now hearing Bloom and protracted Decay Ambients that were always there, but were not being passed by the bandwidth challenged plastic Toslink. In the past I always considered Optical to be the inferior digtal transmission medium, but this Glass Toslink has completely changed my thinking.
