Just got a Onkyo HT-S5100 HT system, and want to purchase some optical audio cables. Is there any specific ones that I need? Are any better then others? I've noticed that while shopping around, that some are more expensive then others, does that mean a better cable or just the names like Phillips and Sony?

I just got the regular ones from monoprice.com. My ears can't tell the difference between those and the Monster cables.

That's the one I have, you will absolutely fall in love with the metal-cable. You'll want to sleep with it under your pillow, and wonder how you got a $30+ cable for $3. I wish all my cables were made exactly like that one.
