Aside from the fact transports seem to fetch more than CDPs.
Were it me Iād get something like a Sony BDP-S1700 - itās dinky, will play any disc format you can think of, and has a nice rock-solid coaxial digital output, all for Ā£90 brand new.

I doubt the gas-powered internet here would support such things
Oooooh! You spiteful bitch! 
Iām currently streaming the new Yello album in hi-res and it takes about 1.7Mb/s. Should be doable surely?
I bought a JVC XL-E66 when my very expensive CD player went kaput and itās been superb and tbh sounds just as good as my defunct one.
Sell the DAC and buy more vinyl and CDās and enjoy.
i completely forgot i bought that on CDā¦ i dont think i even opened the box!
Wise moveā¦

Well, look whatās turned up, I forgot that Lou had a CDP in her little system.
Only Toslink digital out but I can get one of those. CDs might still be a thing.
Possibly!

Perfect. That Jolida will sound nice in your system I reckon. I remember a warm analogue sound from it when i reviewed it.

Ok, deep breath and here goes!
Obviously I need to connect the CDP to the DAC, so I googled āoptical cablesā and of course there are examples from as little as <Ā£2.50 - Ā£Ā£Ā£
Without wanting to get into a circular cable debate (really!) other than appearance, robustness and/or quality of manufacture, reliability etc. I presume (with a fairly high degree of confidence) that there is no way they can differ in actual performance?
Iām not trolling, itās a genuine question, Iāve never used an optical cable, only coax for this purpose.
They either work or they donāt. I suppose the longer they are the more important the quality of the optical fibre becomes, but decent quality fibre is impossibly cheap anyway. I just picked something up from Curryās for a tenner each when I finally got a DAC, but they donāt work any better than the frighteningly thin freebie ones that came with my SACD and Minidisc decks, theyāre just longer and more robust.
