Excellent quality
Excellent quality. Works perfect.

excellent cable
I use this cable to connect Wiim Pro Plus to Amazon Echo Studio in the kitchen, and this works like a charm. Excellent cable.I needed this connection because I have a turntable with RCA out into a preamp then into Wiim Pro Plus – this way I can play both Spotify through Wiim (I like this sound much better than streaming directly to Echo Studio), and also can switch to the turntable. I know the turntable goes through analog > digital > analog but I like the sound better anyway compared to direct connection to Studio using the audio cable from turntable. Previously I had Wiim Mini connected with the same cable and it worked well too, but the Pro Plus is better.

Why gold plating optical fiber???
It works as a SPDIF audio cable. I cannot understand why it has such a bulky connector for what is essentially optical fiber. Even more ridiculous to gold plate the connector. It sure has good quality to look, excessive I would think. This is also the only one I can find and I probably overpaid it for all the excessive bulkiness. Not good value I presume.

Not all Toslinks are the same!
For those not most technically savvy, double check the purpose before purchasing just anything! I bought this item to replace an earlier order for a cable to connect my soundbar to my new TV. It needed a “toslink” cable to connect to optical port on the tv but a 3.mm pin connect on the sound bar. First one ordered did have that but required a double cable with a separate power system…unnecessary. I contacted the sound bar manufacturer who agreed and offered a recommendation for this item instead. It arrived on time, plugged in as needed without excess cord or separate power requirements. Works great; my sound system is now wonderful again!

Highly recommended for hi-fi audio, assuming your devices have the right plugs
I’m perfectly happy with the quality and performance of this cable, and the price was excellent.I’ve used this cable in two different ways to connect Apple equipment to my stereo with built-in DAC.The first one is connecting a Macbook Pro to an external DAC, or a stereo amp with a built-in DAC. The standard 3.5mm earphone jack on the Macbook Pro can output standard analog signals or optical.The second one is connecting an Apple Airport Express to an external DAC or stereo amp with built-in DAC. The Airport Express has the same dual-purpose 3.5mm audio output: analog or optical.In both of these applications, this cable allows you to bypass the DAC of the Macbook Pro or the Airport Express, which you’ll want to do if you have a good stereo with built-in or external DAC. This significantly improves the sound quality.(I would also add that streaming to your system via wi-fi using an Airport Express is much better than streaming over bluetooth, I’ve done both and have done A/B comparisons – and it’s far easier than I was expecting to set up the Airport Express to do this – I got my Airport Express refurbished from the Apple online refurbished store for 1/2 price and it is indistinguishable from a new one – highly recommended!)Important note: The 3.5mm analog output jack on most devices does NOT also support optical output. A few people who bought this cable did not know this and found the cable to be useless and gave it a bad review. That’s not the cable’s fault. Be sure this cable is what you really need before ordering. If it is, you’ll be happy.

After being a fan, I can no longer recommend these as they destroy Toslink ports
Important 2026 update!You must use extreme caution when using this when pulling it out or putting it in for the square part. I think because it is metal, it can DESTROY the door on Toslink ports. The door swings up and actually has a part of it that locks the cable in. But these are METAL and the door is cheap and thin and plastic. Once a Toslink door is busted, that is it. It is OVER for that port! Replacing the Toslink is hard and expensive. So, it is over for the device or, you can now only use another port like a coaxial SPDIF. It the DAC or AVR has it. But, obviously, this one is for Toslink from a Toslink 3.5 mm port (like on an Airport Express). No other option!With that in mind, I have decided to no longer recomend these as they do not factor in cheap Toslink port doors.I lost a DAC to this cable.

The cables are beautiful and look really solid
The cables are beautiful and look really solid, good quality. Then why just three stars? Because they use metal on the TOS side (the larger connector), and it seems that the metal jacket is a tiny bit too large. All TOS ports I tried connecting it into required lots of force to push the connector in, and in at least one of them when I tried to remove the connector, the metal jacket separated from the plug and was left attached to the port on my receiver – had to use pliers to get it out.This is an optical connection, there is no need for metal or gold plating, the connector should be plastic, which would still give a good hold and would not require almost destroying whatever you connecting it to.Don’t get me wrong, I like the cable, but this detail is annoying, it is very easy to damage your device with this cable if you’re not extra cautious.

The GCHD mkII is amazing with this!
Orks way better than expected with my GCHD MKII and loving it. Really good quality and a fantastic item for any gamecube optical audio setup.

Ich habe das FosPower Optische Digital-Audio-Toslink-auf-Mini-Toslink-Kabel (2 m) gekauft, um meinen Mac mit meiner DAC-Anlage zu verbinden. Solche Mini-Toslink-Kabel sind nicht überall in guter Qualität zu finden, deshalb war mir eine zuverlässige Signalübertragung besonders wichtig.Das Kabel macht schon beim Auspacken einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck: 24K-vergoldete Metallstecker sorgen für eine sichere Verbindung, und der Kabelmantel ist robust, aber trotzdem flexibel genug zum Verlegen. In der Praxis liefert es kristallklaren Sound ohne Aussetzer oder Rauschen – genau so, wie es sein soll. Die Passgenauigkeit der Stecker ist top, nichts wackelt oder sitzt zu locker. Mit 2 m Länge ist es ideal, um Geräte ohne Zugspannung zu verbinden.Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: Farbmarkierungen an den Steckern könnten die Unterscheidung zwischen Toslink- und Mini-Toslink-Seite noch leichter machen.Seit ich dieses Kabel nutze, genieße ich deutlich besseren, störungsfreien Klang bei Musik und Filmen.Fazit: Ideal für Hi-Fi- und Heimkino-Nutzer

Comprados para Chromecast Audio ya que el original sale casi 20 euros, me ha sorprendido la calidad del cable, se puede notar la buena construcción del mismo y su funcionamiento perfecto.

Great value for money cable which I’ve connected to my Chromecast audio and Yamaha A/V receiver. Works well and comes with plug protectors if you plan to store the cable.

Connecteur S/PDIF quasi impossible à connecter (diamètre trop gros). Au moment où je l’ai enlevé, le connecteur s’est démonté et le câble n’est plus utilisable.
