[QUOTE="Cross_over, post: 1118543, member: 19846"] In my opinion the bottleneck is the toslink transmitter and receiver that is prone to jitter and have insufficient bandwidth to transmit 192KHz + audio. Whether the cable is plastic or glass is not really the issue. In the late 80's and early 90's some of the high end (predominantly US) DAC manufacturers, notably Theta and Wadia amongst others, used an ST optical connection with glass cable that had higher bandwidth and was the preferred connection method at the time. I haven't seen any ST connections in a very long time though. [/QUOTE]
