Is there a difference between the standard 5.0 and premium 8.0 optical toslink cables? I would just like to know if its worth paying more for the premium.

Absolutely none.

This is new 'snake oil' , one I haven't seen before.

It's 5mm vs. 8mm cable.

For the prices... I'd spend the few extra $$ for the "fancy connector" It's not like we're talking 10's of dollars difference. ;)

. As for "audible" differences....... none.

There is a difference. It uses a bigger font to allow bigger 0's and 1's transfer over. ;)
