C2G Legrand Velocity S/PDIF Cable, Blue Digital Audio Coax Cable, 6 Foot Digital Audio Cable to Use As Home Theater Coaxial Cable, 1 Count, C2G 29115

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'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.

Great value for the money. I used this along with a Coax to Toslink converter in order to have all my game systems play through my soundbar. My TV only has Coax digital out and regular RCA outputs. My soundbar has a minijack input, and 2 TOSLink optical inputs. Using this cable and the converter I can have everything input to my TV, and the sound all goes to the soundbar with no switching needed beyond changing the video input on the TV. I am using a Westinghouse 40" TV, and a Samsung soundbar. More budget oriented, but it is perfectly fine for my needs, and I do not feel the need for a huge top of the line system. This does quite well, and fills the room with sound when I need it to.

Cables work as advertised, and are a great deal. Warning... make sure you want a purplish-blue color. While the description reads: C2G / Cables to Go 29115 Velocity S/PDIF Digital Audio Coax Cable (6 Feet) - and makes no mention of color, the picture shows a colored cable, which I missed, and sure enough... it was purple when it arrived. Because of the way my sound bar installation is you can't see it... but if you are mounting it on the wall and there's a gap between TV and Soundbar, you will have a very purple cable hanging.

This cable goes from the SPDIF hole in my new TCL 40" TV to the coax hole in the PETDTAT digital optical coax to analog RCA audio converter, which then allows the connection of the red and black connectors of my very old Sentry wireless headphones and finally I CAN HEAR MY TV shows. There is a slight hum that doesn't bother me half as much as not being able to hear some voices on the TV. I have a nickel sensitivity which makes wearing hearing aids for any length of time a real problem. I bought the TCL for the headphone jack (which works well but limits how close one must sit to the TV and mutes the TV sound), now with this cable and the converter (also from Amazon), I can hear the TV and adjust the sound when my daughter and I are watching the same event which is most important for watching "It's A Wonderful Life", "Miracle On 34th ST.", "A Christmas Story" . Life is good!

Feels like a thick solid quality cable. I'm using it to connect my TV to my surround sound receiver's coax digital audio, and it works, providing 5.1 surround sound from any surround sound source material playing through my TV. Both over the air and from my computer plugged into my TV. There are no issues related to the cable. The only issue with sound from my TV going through coax digital audio is if the TV reception is poor due to the antenna not being positioned well for a particular station or a helicopter flying in the area, then the sound drops even if the picture is still fine. Analogue audio from my TV always works when the picture works and sometimes even when the picture drops. That's how my TV tuner works though and has nothing to do with this excellent cable which has no issues that I've found.

I'm using this to send digital audio from a Squeezebox device to a Yamaha receiver as I like the Burr-Brown DACs a hair better than the ones in the Squeezebox. In other words, it works fine - and is short enough that I can sit the Squeezebox right on the receiver without having to do cable management. Need a shortie? Yeah, get this one.

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.

well made. have no need for the ground wire, seems short anyway.

Works perfectly for my application.

Muchas gracias me gusto mucho porque puedo disfrutar ahora el sonido de mi estereo

Finally upgraded my CD player and now I have digital outflow to my receiver. CDs sound better, fuller, with better frequency representation.

Good size. Connected the Cd player and amp.
