Wait, is gold actually better for this than other metals? I'm not much of a tech person.

Gold doesn't tarnish like copper, so the quality of an electrical connection doesn't degrade with time. For fibre optic, it's pointless, because the signal is transmitted through fibre and the metal is just support. You can just use stainless steel or aluminium or whatever.

Make sure you use an audiophile usb cable to hook-up other devices to your DAC

I bet audiophiles hear the difference tho - same as gold HDMI and Ethernet
-
Aren't the latest standarts of hdmi and 10g ethernet require gold plating to hit the specifications?

There isn't even any current going through the TOSLINK. This is just actually vanity.
