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.

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.

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.

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!

I purchased this cable to hook up my tv to a reciver that has no hdmi. The cable is built well and was a big improvement over the rocketfish one. The cinnamon line has been my favorite for giving you the best performance per dollar in the audioquest lineup. If you want audiophile performance and built quality look no further.
