How hard do you think it would be to make one. I have a friend that is good at making cables do you think it would be a hard cable for him to make. If you could find the parts.
Never done it, so...dunno.
I have ra xlrs on my pre and how far past the xlr do you think that a toslink that is not ra would stick out.
I've since sold all my straight toslink cables, so I can't measure.
If I don't go with a ra toslink and go strate one how makes the most robust cable with the best sound.
I've not seen a more robust cable than the Lifatech to which I linked previously. As for best sound - it's a digital cable, simply transmitting 0s and 1s, so one cable should not produce a "better" sound than another (with the possible exception of jitter, but I think you'd need a really kick-ass playback system to hear the difference; I know I can't hear the difference).
