I recently replaced a $15 eBay glass toslink with an XLO/VDO toslink (model ER-TOS). In my system, the XLO has better resolution than the glass toslink, particularly in the treble area, while sounding more transparent and true to timbre. The XLO toslink retails for around $50 for 1 meter, but can be had at a bargain on eBay.The connectors on the XLO are more robust and may play a part in the sound quality. (XLO claims their "focus polishing" reduces jitter).
That said, the multi-core eBay glass toslink was a great step up from a $20 plastic Monster interlink.
