There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The cable itself feels solid and is more flexible than expected. I was able to bend the cable in a tight enough arc to accommodate for the roughly 3 inches of clearance behind my receiver in its closet. It was actually able to hold an arc very close to that of much lighter jacketed TOSLINK cables. Note: it is still stiffer than average.
My other concern was signal quality at 25 feet. The TOSLINK spec is 10m with a practical limit of 5m (~15ft). I took a very non-scientific approach of comparing the apparent brightness of the receiver's output to what could be observed after passing through the cable. The cable's output was noticeably dimmer, but still pretty bright. One star was deducted for the brightness loss, which I feel is due to the quality of the optical core. My main concern was imperfections in the core causing internal reflections and cause bit errors. While I have no means to measure the actual bit-error-rate (BER), the sound quality did not seem to suffer as a result of the length; there were no dropouts, pops, snaps, or other disturbances.
The cost was a bit higher than similar cables, but for me, the metal connectors and braided jacket were enough window-dressing to convince me to make the jump. It is up to you whether the appearance is important enough to justify the additional expense. In any case, it works very well for my needs!
Packaging: If you are interested, the cable was packaged in a heat-sealed poly bag.
I had high hopes after installing this cable, but unfortunately I still could not get DD+ audio to play smoothly. With this cable, the sound level would randomly dip about every 10 seconds like the volume was being turned down and up.
Aside from not playing DD+ content smoothly, this is a very nice cable. The jacket is thick and provides adequate protection to the cable. The connectors snap into the receivers jack nicely with a pronounced click. I confirmed that the cable played regular Dolby Digital and DTS content without issue.
I ultimately returned this cable only because it would not play DD+ content. That was the only reason I purchased it. DD+ is not officially supported over a toslink connection, but Viewhd claims it should work with their converter using this cable. I can attest to the fact that my receiver was showing a DD+ signal when connected via this cable to a Viewhd extractor, but it would not play smoothly.
Since this is not necessarily a problem with this cable, since DD+ is not officially supported, I can't fault the cable. The cable is of good quality, just be weary of claims that DD+ can be played correctly using this cable or any toslink cable.
