You Bifrost should sound just fine with the HOSA Toslink. I have both a fancy Silflex Glass toslink and a $3 ebay Toslink and both sound just fine with the Bifrost. Toslinks are a real toss up - apparently they can be done wrong but there are few ways to predict it. Example: about 10 years ago Kimber, of all people, came out with a $100 Toslink that was totally trashed by reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic. They had to pull the product. So - it's possible to do Toslink poorly but, most Toslinks, at any price, will probably be fine. I only own a fancy glass Toslink out of insecurity. As I wrote, my $3 ebay Toslink sounds just as good. I think there's an element of luck here.
Also - nothing wrong with HOSA products. I've had a few of their ofc copper interconnects and they sound fine. There's a first rate Gainclone amp manufacturer in Ohio that sells HOSA as their preferred cable!
