C2G Legrand Velocity S/PDIF Cable, Blue Digital Audio Coax Cable, 3 Foot Digital Audio Cable to Use As Home Theater Coaxial Cable, 1 Count, C2G 29114

I am extremely happy with this product. It sounds as good as any that I have heard, especially in my system where it connects a component to a outboard DAC. It iw well constructed, and for a short run audio coax cable, it is perfect. I know that cables can be extremely expensive (I really question the true worth of some of the outrageously expensive cables), but this cable certainly is not expensive and it does the job for me perfectly. I would highly recommend it to anyone to try. If for some strange reason you do not like it, you have not lost much.

I bought this based on another review that had said it sounded better than an audioquest cable almost 7 times its price. Since it was $8 I figured why not give it a try. It exceeded my expectations. I AB'd it against my Audioquest Forest Green coax cable and in all tests I preferred this one. My setup was a PC>Belkin Gold USB>Schiit Eitr>This cable | AQ Forest Green>Hugo 2>Phonitor X>various TOTL headphones of mine. Solid increase in low end performance across the board. Actually got a surprisingly high amount of subbass from my Utopia (subbass from the utopia, seriously? Couldn't believe it). Highs and treble weren't muted per se rather than became more refined. The sibilance from my HD 800 and, especially, the 10khz spike from my MDR-Z1R were smoothed out to becoming almost nonexistent. Got even more detail out of this cable than my AQ one. All of this for a fraction of the price of a more expensive AQ cable. Cable itself is also very solidly built. Obviously not flashy like AQ or other cables but it does the job very, very well. Highly recommend!!!

I purchased these cables to use for running audio from my computer to an A/V system hooked up to my tv. At first I didnt realize that all optical cables come with a clear protector cap on the tip that your supposed to remove before you can use the cables so it kept popping out of the port but once the clear protector cap is removed these cables stay firmly in place. The cables are pretty long too at the price was great. The sound quality is excellent, I cant really tell the difference from HDMI audio and Optical Cable audio on a 5.1 sound system listening to music or playing video games. Pros -------------- - Long cable for a low price - The cable is pretty sturdy - Excellent sound quality Cons -------------- - None that I can think of Conclusion -------------- These are great cables offered at a low price, just remember to take the clear protective cap off of them before you use them, many people dont realize that its there because its hard to see. The sound quality is excellent and you get a pretty long cable for a good price, I would highly recommend these cables to anyone looking for good optical cables.

I needed this to hook up my yamaha sound bar to my insignia TV. the soundbar came with an optical cable, but my insignia TV does not have an Optical output. this worked perfectly and the sound is great. no I can spend more time in my basement. the price of this cable is cheaper than going to radio shack and the quality is good.

I've purchased these in various lengths (but mostly 3-feet) first in 2011, then 2014, and now most recently March 2017. They are well-assembled of solid-looking materials. They have all been trouble-free - cables you simply don't need to worry about. The connectors plug & unplug with mild effort - good contact is being made without audiophile vice-like pretensions. In my most recent order, the cable itself (as identified by the inked codes) and the end-connectors (in terms of appearance) have both changed compared to my previous orders. Don't know if for better or worse - probably just routine supply chain management with identical specifications. However, the little red rings on the connectors (that say "Digital Audio") were not applied as well, and looked to be coming loose when I unwrapped the new cables. It is worth noting that, in common with all other cable brands I've used, the length specification is essentially tip-to-tip including connector. The actual length of pure "cable" in my samples is 34-inches. The connector bodies and tips extend the measured length to just over 3-feet. It would be delightful to someday encounter a cable vendor who routinely added a little "leeway" to their cable lengths.

As very well worth purchasing and it’s been great quality for my media

Recommended when needed. Worked for me.

I found that the connectors for this S/PDIF Digital Audio Coax Cable do not fit snugly enough to the attached components and can slip off if you move your equipment around. As a result, I replaced it with an older, longer cable lying around the house. Yes it works, until it slips off. I'll stick with my older, longer cable and live with a little untidiness.
