I mean Toslink is the most versatile and effective method of digital audio transport even in 2021.
It can support long distances with zero hiccups, while HDMI and USB suffers terribly beyond 3 meters.
It effectively interrupts ground loops. And prevents noise leakage from other electrical circuits.
There are no ‘physical’ data transmission limitations as optical transmission is the fastest and the most stable humans have come up with.
Was the pro Audio world just satisfied with their man-sized AES / XLR cables?
