Whats Included
  • AudioQuest OptiLink Vodka 4.9' Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable

Q: What type of connectors does the cable have?

A: This cable has Toslink connectors on both ends.

Q: Does the cable have a warranty?

A: This cable comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Q: What is the cable length?

A: The cable length is 16.4 feet.

Q: What type of signal does the cable transmit?

A: This cable transmits a digital signal.

Q: This is an excellent cable however I am considering returning it and going with the Audioquest Vodka HDMI cable for sound for my JBL 3.1 BAR soundbar and subwoofer(wireless) Does this cable not support 3.1 channel and higher?

A: As long as the hardware supports 3.1, the fiber optic cable will provide 3.1. However, HDMI has a wider bandwidth and so would probably sound better than a fiber optic cable.

Q: As of right now I have a Audioquest Cinnamon HDMI cable running from my 4k tv to my soundbar so would it be an upgrade if I replace that cable with this one considering Vodka is superior to the Cinnamon lineup? I know HDMI is better than an optical cable

A: Cables can only make improvements by introducing less distortion into the system and doing less harm to the signal. The less distortion, the better. A cable cannot improve the cable it’s carrying. So upgrading your cable to a better one will absolutely make your system sound better.

Q: Why would anyone pay $150 more than they could for any other optical audio cable? What makes yours worth that?

A: Better audio is all about damage control. Less distortion = better performance. OptiLink Vodka uses superior materials, superior design and pays attention to detail so it provides better sound quality than a standard fiber optic cable.

For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear. AudioQuest USB Type-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction techniques that have allowed AQ’s other USB cables to achieve great recognition worldwide. With the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices, AQ’s line of Type-C equipped USB cables will allow users to connect with Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook, ChromeBook, Pixel, Galaxy Note 7, etc.
