I bought the cable some years ago based on your rec. I was always anti TOSlink because of the extra process of turning the digital signal to light.
Once I tried the cable I found out how much the coaxial cables ground was transferring noise. There are even some good DACs that install an isolation transformer at the coax in because of this noise.
This cable gave me much more realistic HF. At first there was more HF too, almost too much for my taste and what I was used to hearing.
When I switched to a Squeezebox it didn't suffer from the coaxial cable ground issue like the transport. When my server died and I switched back to the transport I used the Silflex again with its superior result.
