Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Top quality cable. Cable connections securely connects to components. The braided jacket is top shelf. Audio quality is superb. Very pleased with this purchase. If you spent the money for high end audio and video equipment, don't be cheap with the cabling.

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!

This product worked fine, however it's crazy expensive. I was told it would make my current sound, sound a lot better. I turned up the surround sound and start playing the opening scene of Tenet with the cheaper original one vs this one and my wife and I couldn't tell the difference. Maybe our speakers weren't good enough. It was not worth the money for us.

Okay, this optical cable is great and the cost is a little high. I try to use another brand and return it. However, I used it for couple weeks and did not want to use the cheaper band.

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.

Optical cord looks and feels great right out of the box. After replacing the other cord, the sound was amazingly crisp! There is a huge difference. It's a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it if you have a high end surround system.

Cable is holding up pretty good so no complaints after several years.

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.

This audio cable is the best i have gotten my hands on. It improved the sound of my sound bar like crazy and is worth every penny

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.

I can definitely hear the difference and it doesn't fall out of the receiver! Expensive.....so only if you have good speakers and surround sound.

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.

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.
