Audioquest Optilink 1 (1 Meter)

CinemaQuest OptiLink 1 provides significantly higher performance than is often thought possible with the TOSLINK interface system. Even though OptiLink 1 has a very modest price, that first step from normal cable into the CQ OptiLink series, is the biggest step .... the most sonic improvement. CQ OptiLink cables can make so much difference because, when used in a Home Theater system, a TOSLINK cable is carrying five (5.1 or more) channels of audio information. It is the only single cable that so globally affects the performance. In a two channel application, a TOSLINK cable is also carrying all the audio information. Performance is equally important no matter the number of channels, but the cable is doing two and half (or more) times the ''work'' in a Home Theater system.

OptiLink 1 uses a low-loss low-jitter synthetic fiber, a precision machined termination (to minimize dispersion and reflections), a brass ferrule plug, correct cladding (the fiber's intimate covering) and effective mechanical damping (cushioning for the fiber). The result is low distortion and better sound from this reliable cable.
