I have owned the TLTLG-OS with the machined brass ends for about 2 years. Just as good as a silver digital cable but with ground isolation. Are the newer ones plastic or metal (connector ends)? My cable locks into the jack solidly.

plastic jacket ones. The plastic ones still use metal connectors, and sound just as good. I've recently switched one of my digital connections from really good $500 coaxes to the new Lifatecs and I can't say I can tell the difference. Pretty amazing. YMMV, of course, but its a pretty cheap option to play with. I've been a big fan of the Lifas for many years.

The new Lifatec Silflex glass Toslink cable I received features the same connector shown in my posted image, while my older Lifatec cable features a metal body, but with a gold plated end; it also features a black polymer strain relief insert that tends to come loose from the connector body -- an effective solution is to wrap the metal connector and strain relief with PTFE Teflon tape, which actually provides better strain relief as a result. BTW, the newer Toslink connector seems to provide an even more solid grip on a Toslink I/O jack, perhaps dependent on what make/model jack is involved.
