Features

Audioquest Forest Series Optical Cable: Audioquest Forest optical (Toslink) cables feature a thoroughly engineered, finely polished polymer fiber conductor to minimize signal loss and jitter (time-based distortion). The plug's brass ferrule also contributes to ideal light transmission and the highest quality sound. The conductor is surrounded by a black & green flexible PVC jacket. Each connector has a clear plastic protector that should be removed before use. The plug is shaped so that it will only fit one way into the component's Toslink connector.

Q
Can I use this cable to go from Android phone to back of Dac Magic Plus to play flac files?

This specific cable is an optical cable. It only supports fiber optic input/output. No it will not work. However audio quest does make the cable you are looking for.

Only if your phone has an optical output. Also known as a Toslink connection.

Q
Simple question I hope. I bought a pair of Peachtree M24 powered speakers for my tv and I am using RCAs currently. Will a optical cable improve the sound ? Also are they all standard one size connectors that fit the tv and the active speaker ?

RCA is analog. Optical is digital and requires a DAC, so the answer is, "it depends on the quality of the DAC inside the M24's and inside the TV" Almost certainly, the answer is YES, optical will be better into your M24s. You should test both connections yourself.

It can improve the sound. The optical connector are standard connectors, it's the same in the speaker and the tv.
