KabelDirekt TOSLINK – Optical Audio Cable – 1.5ft – Fiber Optic Cord, S/PDIF Digital Audio Optical Cable for Soundbar, Stereo Systems, Home Cinema, Xbox One/PS4 – Designed in Germany

The Short:This is digital. 1 and 0. On or Off. Yes or No. The cable works or it doesn't. It works every time. The gold plating, fancy carbon fiber look cover, etc is just eye candy and while it looks nice, it's just looks. So it's a nice looking cable, that looks well made, and functions as it should. That's it - it works. You can stop here.The Long: (if you are really bored)So lets review...0) FIRST - I can't hear a difference between one SPDIF cable and another. If I did hear a difference, it meant the cable or connection was damaged.1) ALL streaming over the internet, Blue-Ray, DVD, CD, etc is DIGITAL.2) For you to HEAR digital, it has to be converted to analog because your ears are analog.3) That converter is a DAC, or Digital to Analog Converter.4) IF you have a nice receiver with SPDIF inputs or you have one of those cool little standalone DACs, AND you haven't spent your life savings on a high-end component, you probably have a better DAC on the receiver (or the standalone, but then why are you reading this) than on the components. I'm sure my sub $100 blue-ray, my $500 TV and my 25 year old CD player do not have as good a DAC as myYes, in general, the digital bridge between devices is better than an analog bridge IF you have a good DAC on the receiving end of the circuit. My Yamaha receiver has a better DAC than my TV, my HTPC/Streamer or my CD player. All of these are relatively nice components, but I didn't spend my child's college fund on them. So I use one of these with my CD player, my HTPC, and my TV. My Blue-ray goes to the TV via HDMI, so the digital audio stream is sent from the TV to the DAC on the receiver. I've done a lot of AB testing and this is definitely a better setup for me than using RCA analog cables to the receiver from any of these components. AND if I upgrade my receiver, I automatically upgrade all of the components.Now, wake up and do something.

Just what I needed, the old cable would work loose and we'd lose the audio on the TV. Only a minor problem, these were rather hard to lock in place, took a hard push to lock in. But maybe this will make it harder for the cable to disconnect, which would be a good thing!!! been connect for awhile now and working like a commercial!

This product is simply a fiber optic cable that I needed to connect two devices. I suppose it's possible to screw up something like this, but it was, as expected, well-built, had good connectors, was the reported length, and has worked very well. More importantly,, it was delivered promptly after I submitted the order, and there were no problems with the transaction.

Ordered by mistake and was impressed with the quaility of the cable and its performance It thick and carries that sound so well. I will be checking out more of this manufacturer's products decent value as well

I am very happy with the quality of the audio fiber optics cable! The sound quality is way better than the one's I had prior to this purchase, The entire new cable and end fittings are twice the quality and 2x the fiber optics in the cable! All with a very reasonable price and worth every penny!

Much thicker than what came with my speakers. Original optical cable wore out after several years, this aftermarket one so much stronger and wider. My audio immediately started working. Feels and looks premium.

These are just what I needed to connect my older home surround sound to a new Smart TV.

Nice flexible cable. Definitely better sound quality than the stock cable that I received with my soundbar. Don't really know much about wire quality, but this cable is good for its price.
