IF you are one to notice a difference that matters to you when upgrading audio components AND you are using a typical $8-$20 toslink digital audio cable, this should be your next upgrade. I am so floored that I am now wondering what the higher grade audio quest Toslink digital audio cables sound like. But I am enjoying this for now. Amazing difference for the money spent. The sound detail was so good I could even hear the amp buzz on Stevie Ray Vaughn’s “Little Wings”. I was disappointed in the past how little I could turn up my integrated amp before without distortion and it was the basic crap digital audio toslink cable I had been using all along.

J’ai assaye entre mon blt-hd et un dac. NEko d100 mk2 et le son est mieux que avec mon cable de base. Jinsiste sur le fait que les cables font une différence seulement si vous avez un bon système évidement et des bonne oreilles.

I use this Audioquest optical cable to connect my WiiM Pro to one of my DACs and stereo. Fine sound quality, and as is the case with all Toslink connections, there’s no need to worry about the cable picking up electromagnetic hum if you have a lot of cable-vomit behind your audio gear and video gear.

I can only review this product based on my subjective experience. Sound varies between the health of your ears and product combinations.
The sound here was edgy somewhat harsh at times no warmth. Made sure connections were well made and compared product with Amazon and found amazons link to work better for me. More expensive does not mean better in this hobby it’s all personnel taste.

Picked this cable up after replacing my entire system with the Tower analog cables offered by Audioquest. I had never used any of their digital cables, so this is my first and it’s replacing the higher-end Monoprice cable I was using before.
I should note that the product I received is not the one pictured here. The cable I received was very thin and had a green/black braided jacket that seemed to be made of nylon. I wasn’t sure if I accidentally got sent a higher-end product but the box still said Forest, so I contacted Audioquest to make sure there were no issues. They confirmed that they recently revamped the optical cables to make them a bit thinner and easier to run behind A/V equipment.
I’m unable to upload any pics here, it must be because I’m posting this on mobile, but I think the new design is much more aesthetically pleasing than the cable pictured. It has the same braided jacket style that the higher-end cables have.
It’s a digital cable, so obviously the sound will be fine and I’m very happy with the product. I do wish they would update the product image here, so people know what they’re getting, though.

I ordered this to connect my CD player to a DAC. I have an Onkyo C-7030 CD player. It’s a low cost player, well reviewed component I bought through Amazon a few years ago.
I upgraded my turntable a few months ago. With the new turntable, I preferred the sound of the vinyl versus CDs. My CDs sounded harsh. Instead of spending a lot more money on a new CD player, I purchased a low cost, budget DAC, a Schiit Modi ($99). Using the DAC and the AudioQuest Forest Toslink, my CD’s sounded much better. I heard more detail, higher bass and improved imaging.
I know this review is for both the cable and the DAC and I don’t have different Toslink cable to do an “A to B” comparison. However, I’ve used AudiQuest cables/interconnects in the past and have always been impressed with their sound. I bough the AudioQuest Forest Toslink based on previous experience with their brand. I’m happy with my purchase.

It does a great job as how it was intended/designed, much better than a stock cable, more open sound, a good partner for my ZVOX 440.

Sure great no problems hard to say a better one would be better but I’m sure I could get all wound up over it… I have a custom midfi system.
Excellent for the custom size. You cannot buy this short of this style in a store. Good price.

El encaje tanto en lector CD como en el DAC no es muy fuerte, pero no se puede decir que se salga. El sonido es como era de esperar muy bueno. Está muy bien construido, por cierto con funda de tela muy fina cubriendo el cable.

Honestly a couple of months ago I didn’t know a toslink cable from a cableknit sweater. My rapid research determined their use and their second sister status to the other S/PDIF cable-coaxial. I was using a nice coaxial cable for linking a Squeezebox Touch to an external DAC having excellent results. One day curiosity got the best of me and I was wondering what my CD player would sound like through the external DAC. The DAC has one each coaxial, optical (toslink), and USB inputs. So I ordered this modest optical cable for a second input.
Supposedly polymer optical cable is inferior to real glass toslink and optical cable is inferior to coaxial. When this entry-level (polymer) Audioquest Forest cable arrived I swapped the coaxial for the CD player hookup and installed the toslink between the DAC and the Squeezebox Touch. The results are every bit as good sounding as before with the coaxial.
Two conclusions: This “audiophile” hobby can be maddening (I’m listening to wires) trying to differentiate very minute changes and secondly, the more expensive choices can often be more an ego boost than a genuine improvement. One is not shortchanging their equipment with the AQ Forest.

It’s quite a snug fit in my devices but that’s not a bug. Happy with the performance. Great cable.

cavo di buona qualità per audio/video digitale ad un prezzo concorrenziale, venditore molto professionale; impossibile tracciare il pacco lungo la spedizione causa malfunzionamento AMAZON ( non è la prima volta che mi accade su terzi venditori).

Câble avec gaine tressée extrêmement fin (plus que ne le laisserait penser la photo du fait d’un effet d’échelle), très discret, dont la souplesse est plus proche de la ficelle que du câble, idéal donc pour les écrans plats avec connecteurs latéraux. Embouts avec détrompeur pour faciliter le branchement (une fois le connecteur positionné l’enfoncer jusqu’à entendre un clic) . Fonctionnellement rien à dire, fibre de qualité.
