Hello Everyone,
Just discovered this very interesting audio society and didn't took me very long to register myself as a member. Want to Thank Amir for his achievements and sharing his knowledge through all digital and analog medium. Hopefully we all out here get to see each other in person one day. I'm an odd one out with no electronics background, basically the dumbest of everyone here so excuse my stupid questions and humor at times. I'm here because I love to learn and I love music, and I understand quality. My topic for discussion is Toslink Cables. A multi-strands decent quality Glass optics V/S high quality Fiber Optics. I understand optical cables definitely isolate 1 noisy electronic component like a TV or laptop to another maybe a DAC, which is awesome but are they really limited on data transfer rate and frequency? Are they not meant for hi-res audio. No manufacturer even like audioquest, monster or lifatec give any kind of reference specs to be able to figure out which one is better. Please Advise! Thanks in advance!
