    Excellent Optical Cable

    This is an excellent cable. It's small, lightweight and seems to do the job perfectly transmitting the sound from device to device. There is no audible distortion so it's doing something right. I opted for the more expensive cable because i'm using it with a high end DAC.

    Get what you pay for.

    Audioquest is a good company and they take pride in their products. The quality is alway first rate and they back it up with a solid warranty. I purchased this cable for my DAC to Preamp. It is a solid performer and is neutral and that is what you want from a cable, not to add or attend the original source signal. I have been a fan of Audioquest for over 20 years now. I do have other cables from other manufacturers but for the price and value, AQ is hard to beat.

    excellent product

    fit every connection that I tried it with and I tried with several.. The quality of the fiber optic is probably not any better that the Monster one but several reviewers stat that the Monsters cable it did not fit tightly with some of their connections.. Not a problem withe this cable. Can definitely tell the quality over the one provided with my LB Soundbar.

    Great Digital Optical Cable

    I bought this cord to connect my Panasonic 65VT50 to my MartinLogan Motion Vision sound bar. I have heard nothing bad about AudioQuest so I decided to go with that brand for my digital optical cable. Figured with a high end TV and high end audio, I didn't want to sacrifice the audio quality with a cheap/inexpensive cable that wasn't as good. I went with the cinnamon cable because it didn't break the wallet and was still very high quality and it seems that decision was a great one so far. The audio from the sound bar and the subwoofer is amazing so the cable must be doing its job! Would recommend this cable to anyone with high end audio that doesn't want to lose good audio quality. Also, from an aesthetic point of view, the cable is pretty sexy for a cable!

Enjoy cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful sound from a wide range of modern and legacy digital devices—CD players, cable boxes, HDTVs, powered speakers and subwoofers, soundbars, laptops, portable-audio players, game consoles, and more—with this high-performance, low-noise AudioQuest Carbon optical cable. Like all AudioQuest products, Carbon Optical cable is meticulously designed for outstanding performance and exceptional value. The single large fiber in most Toslink cables allows light from the LED source to enter at many different angles, causing signal paths of various lengths, smearing the data across time, reducing bandwidth, and causing a loss of information: audible signal distortion caused by the complex dispersion of light. AudioQuest’s Carbon Optical cable, however, features 19 narrow-aperture fibers of the highest-purity synthetic, creating a cleaner, more direct signal path with significantly reduced dispersion and lower distortion. Further, AudioQuest Carbon Optical cable uses precision-polished fiber ends. The non-metallic connection provides critical galvanic isolation, eliminating the transmission and pickup of induced radio-frequency noise. Includes 3.5mm mini-toslink adaptor. All standard lengths of AudioQuest Carbon Optical cable of 8m and greater feature a PVC outer jacket rated for in-wall use. Enjoy cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful and intelligible sound with AudioQuest Carbon Optical cable.

5.0(11)

AudioQuest Forest RJ/E prepared Cat 7 Ethernet cables use Solid 0.5% Silver conductors, which eliminate strand interaction, one of the biggest sources of distortion in cables, for clearer, more dynamic and involving sound. Superior conductor metals minimize distortion thanks to having fewer grain boundaries and fewer impurities (such as oxides) at those boundaries. Solid High-Density Polyethylene insulation helps maintain critical signal-pair geometry. Of course, all AudioQuest Ethernet cables are controlled for RF-noise directionality, efficiently dissipating noise away from the system's vulnerable audio circuitry; arrows indicate the direction (from source to destination) for the best audio performance.
