However these current\ngeneration digital technologies are only part of the story just as the\nchallenge of designing manufacturing and choosing the best analog\ninterconnects and speaker cables is as important as ever. The S\/P-DIF (Sony\nPhilips Digital InterFace) which arrived in 1983 along with the CD is still\nvery much a part of our world today. S\/P-DIF is transmitted through Digital\nCoax and Toslink fiber optics (EIA-J) making them still some of the most\nimportant cables in electronic entertainment. Highlights 19 narrow-aperture\nsynthetic fibers Low-jitter (Digital timing errors) Precision polished fiber\nends While thanks to HDMI Toslink is not so often used to connect a DVD player\nto an A\/V receiver Toslink connectors are common on cable-boxes TV sets\nsubwoofers all sorts of products. And now the 3.5mm Mini Optical connector\nalso somewhat incorrectly known as Mini-Toslink is everywhere from the 3.5mm\ndual-purpose headphone jack on a Mac laptop to inputs on some of the finest\nportables. For these many reasons AudioQuest has refined and renewed our line\nof serious high performance OptiLink cables. All models and all lengths are\nnow available Toslink to Toslink and Toslink to 3.5mm Mini Optical. When the\nquestion is how can a fiber-optic cable change the sound? the answer is easier\nto explain than for almost any other type of cable. If the light source were a\ncoherent laser firing into a vacuum all the light would stay straight arriving\nat its destination at the same time. Even if the LED light source in a Toslink\nsystem were coherent the light entering a fiber-optic cable is scattered and\ndispersed by imperfections and impurities in the fiber. This can be measured\nas a loss of amplitude but amplitude is not the problem a 50% true loss would\nhave no effect on sound quality.
