This question was asked about the related product: AudioQuest - Cinnamon Optical 2.5' Digital Toslink Fiber-Optic Cable + Mini-Adaptor with Toslink to Toslink Connectors - Red on Black

• A:Answer Hello, to fully support Dolby Atmos, TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio you would need to use an HDMI cable. If you use an optical cable, these audio formats will be down-converted to what is referred to as "lossy" or compressed audio formats. You'll still be able to listen to the soundtrack and get audio, but in order to get the full resolution you would need to go with an HDMI cable.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this fiber optic cable, compared to cheaper fiber optic cables and how much of a difference would there be in sound quality?

Asked 11 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The AudioQuest - Carbon Optical Toslink Cable has, "19 Narrow-Aperture Highest-Purity Synthetic Fibers," as stated in the Specifications section. Cheaper fiber optic cables, including the lower priced cables sold by AudioQuest, are a single large fiber. There is a significant difference in sound quality between the lower priced cables and the Carbon cable. Wether the audio/video system it will be attached to, and your own biological auditory system allows or enables you to hear that difference, and wether the cost is worth it to you, is what you need to determine. I needed a toslink cable to listen to the stereo signal broadcast from my TV through my 2 channel stereo receiver that has only RCA inputs. My TV has only an optical output, requiring a toslink cable attached to a DAC between the TV and receiver. The toslink cable between the TV and DAC, and RCA cables between the DAC and receiver. I started with a generic $30 DAC and a generic toslink cable. It sounded terrible, a harsh digital sound. I bought a $179 DAC, and an AudioQuest Pearl toslink cable. It was a huge improvement, but the cable did not provide the reveling, musical quality I wanted. I bought an AudioQuest Cinnamon cable. It had the revealing quality I sought. You could hear individual instruments being played in an orchestra. With Bluegrass, you could hear the individual notes plucked from the strings. Unfortunately, it did not provide the musical quality I sought. I bought an open box AudioQuest Carbon cable from Best Buy, and obtained exactly the sound I wanted. Even more revealing than the Cinnamon cable, while providing a musical quality that I can listen to for hours without fatigue.

This question was asked about the related product: AudioQuest - Cinnamon Optical 9.8' Digital Toslink Fiber-Optic Cable + Mini-Adaptor with Toslink to Toslink Connectors - Black/Red Stripes

• A:Answer TosLink fiber optic cables have plugs that can only fit one way. Simply insert one plug into the TosLink jack on the TV and the other plug into the TosLink jack on the other component. Fiber optic cables are not directional, so it doesn't matter which plug connects to which component.

• A:Answer This is not something we've heard about. It should not be dependent on the program being played but the component it's being played on. If the component has a TosLink output, there's no reason why a fiber optical (TosLink) cable shouldn't work.
