Instead of accepting that the optical cable is average on someone else's say so why not try it for yourself? You might be surprised. As far as analogue interconnects go it depends on how much you like parting with your money. I make my own using shielded dual core cable, and connect the screen at the source end only. Costs me around £20 in parts. A number of members here use Blue Jeans cables.
