So is there a difference in optical cables? Say between the ones you linked and this one? Do they all have the same sound quality or do some pass higher quality sound? The one below list this in the description

S/PDIF, ADAT's, Dolby Digital, & DTS.
Uncompressed PCM audio, compressed 5.1 to 7.1 surround sound systems including Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD High Resolution and LPCM.
