Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is improved sound, excellent, great bass, detailed

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.

Recently updated my subwoofer to Elac 3010 ( system is Elac amp and ub5)and greatly immproved the sound. Then I upgraded to SVS ultra speaker cables ( from monster xp )even further improved sound quality especially mids and highs. And finally I upgraded to audioquest cinnamon..( was using forest one)what difference it took to whole new level. Now I understands how each component is important to get great sound . Just try these cables if u spent decent amount on audio system.

Usually optical links have terrible connections making them seem cheap and ineffective. This cord connects snugly, is shaped so you can only plug it in one direction, and the cord is solid. Works great.

I have been in sound and computers for decades & these are the best cables I have ever come across. Monster is just $$ compared to AudioQuest. A blue shirt recommended the AudioQuest cables, so I did my due diligence & read up on them at their website, @ Audioquest.com. After reading how they make the cables I was doubtful, but after thinking about the mechanics it made sense. I also purchased several HDMI cable's for my new 4K TV & you can tell the difference between regular cables and AudioQuest. I had good optical & HDMI cable's, even a monster cable, when I bought my TV, but when I installed the AudioQuest cables my TV & sound came alive.

Probably one of the best optical cables around. I didnt realize the difference in sound that a good, quality cable can make. Take my word, this will sound much better then the cheapie optical cables that come standard. Quality isnt cheap. Disclaimer, I returned this cable, not because it was crap, but because I didnt need it with the new sound bar. If the new soundbar would if just had Optical and Bluetooth inputs(like the old one), this would of been a keeper, for sure.

I needed a replacement cable for my Samaung speaker bar. This one was easy to connect and the sound difference was immediately noticable. I highly recommend this one if you need one.

replaced my audio cable that came with my sonos playbase with this one and I can notice a difference in the sound. My wife who never notices stuff like this asked if we got a new system, that it sounded better and fuller? I said no just replaced the cable. well biult and improves sound, price as always is an issue for some but this cable will last a long time, so money well spent for the long run!

I wish I would have known about AudioQuest a long time ago. I purchased this optical cord to replace an old Monster Cable that only lasted about four years. This cable was more pricey, but the quality is top-notch. I've been using it for almost a year now with no issues whatsoever.

What can you say. All good stuff. Audio quest is the only way to go for high quality. Just like if you want to stay warm you have close on. This is the same way.If you want quality return on your supplies. you use quality items. Look at audio quest compared to other and you will see and here the difference. All good.

Got this cable for a high end sound bar works awesome easy to use easy to install love it.

We use our surround sound receiver for our TV. It is capable of 4K upscaling so when we upgraded our DTV boxes to 4K, we had an issue getting the surround to work since everything runs through the receiver. This cable did the trick. We were able to view 4K on the TV as well as using the surround sound system. And now when we stream Netflix or Prime from the apps on the TV, the sound is through the receiver rather than the TV, which up until then, I could never figure out how to fix.

After much review of TVs, we bought an Ultra 4K. The sound was much better than our old TV but we decided to get the AudioQuest Cinnamon to see if it would really improve the sound quality. We were not disappointed!! I would definitely recommend these.

This cable gave clarity to my music and karaoke sound a lot better than before using basic optical

I was skeptical at 1st about spending all this money for this cable... However as soon as I connected I notice a difference in sound quality.... Before deciding to upgrade your speakers by this cable 1st it's a cheaper results and is deftly will improve sound quality.

No issues with this cable. Plugs easily and can't see any issue with sound! Good Quality!
