Default Digitl Optical Cable/Toslink/MBP Question

So I am currently using a normal 3.5 mm cord connected to my cd input to watch shows from my Macbook to my HDTV.

I need to order some other cable and was wondering if it worth my while to get a digital optical cable cord.

My receiver, an older JVC, says it will take a digital optical cable. Is this the same as a toslink cable? The receiver is square. I guess I would then either need an adapter or a cable that has the mini doc to plug into the mac.

So, two questions:

1. Would the quality be worth the effort?
2. Is Toslink the same as digital optical cable?

Thanks.

Monoprice to the rescue: Is this what I need? Is it worth it?
