Features of Glass Toslink Cables
- Precision molded plug and durable 24k gold plated plug ends
- Constructed from 280 individual strands of glass for maximum flexibility
- Bend radius is only 50 mm ( about 2 inches )
- This cables ensures the least signal loss and least jitter possible
- Allows highest resolution digital audio transmission
- Widest bandwidth transmission and frequency response
- Tuned spectral attenuation for optimum signal admittance and low loss

Toslink Glass Digital Audio - Highest Quality Cable
Why is Glass Toslink so great and used by Audio Professionals
Simply Put - Glass makes it the clearest and cleanest possible signal is transferred through the 280 individual stands of glass.
Unlike most consumer grade optical cable that use plastic fiber optics, this cable uses real glass fiber optics and mirror polished ends for the highest possible quality data transmission.
Devices that it supports
Glass fiber optic transmission allows amazing clarity reproduction, ultra spatial effects and dynamic impact.
It's ideal for use with
- Home Theater Systems
- Surround Sound
- Video Gaming Systems
- Sound Bars
- Blu-Ray
- DVD
- Dolby Digital
- DTS professional audio applications.

Realmente sentí una pequeña diferencia entre el plástico y este de cristal.El plástico es más suave en las señales altas y este es más honesto pero distorsiona con grabaciones de poca calidad.Este de cristal lo usaría con amplificadores de Tubo y el plástico con Transistores.

My setup: Desktop computer to my Fiio K11 R2R via shielded fiio usb cable and/or with DSD tech USB isolator powering my HD600s.This Optical cable blows the usb out of the water, its not even a competition. Listening through the unbalanced output it is considerably louder, considerably clearer, and the tonality is much improved. The usb sound flat in comparison. I have had the HD600s for about a decade, I know how they sound. The improvement is huge for my setup. I cannot speak for the quality longevity wise, since i recently got it, but sonically for my setup the improvement was worth leaving a good review.

Give this glass fiber optic cable a try if you’ve only used a freebie fiber optic cable before.I’ve got the audio signal from my TV running into a dac & used a freebie fiber optic cable for several years. On a whim I shopped around for glass fiber cables, limiting my budget to $40US. Glad I found this one! The audio sounds much better now. Voices, sound effects, everything.Highly recommended

My old one disconnected with any movement at all, this one stays where you put it. Sound is at least as good as the old one. Looks like it's made well.

My two channel setup for digital media (CD/SACD, files and TV/video) uses Toslink optical as well as coax SPDIF and USB. I have been using an inexpensive Toslink cable made with plastic optical strands and while the sound quality has seemingly been OK, one evening I noticed some audio dropouts. The source was connected via HDMI to an HDMI audio extractor and from there the connection to my DAC is Toslink.I was reasonably certain that the HDMI cable was not the problem, so I decided to upgrade the Toslink cable without spending a large amount of money. I searched for “glass Toslink” and came across this cable. Compared to high end cables from the likes of Wire World, Audioquest and others, it’s cheap. No, it’s not “dirt cheap” like the plastic strand cables, but very reasonable *if* it results in higher performance.And it did. Playing one of the tracks I use for testing, I IMMEDIATELY heard an improvement in sound quality. Bass was more solid and controlled. All instruments were better defined in space due to a lowered noise level - something audiophiles often refer to as a “blacker background.” On the track I used, occasionally there is sibilance in the vocals. From repeated listening I know the sibilance is in the recording. With this cable the sibilance was markedly reduced. I also noticed that trailing consonants, such as the ‘t’ in ‘almost’ were better defined with less smearing. The individual strings of a guitar were also better defined, the harmonics more separated and audible.Of course it’s possible that other changes, for example upgrading my DAC, a different HDMI cable from the source, etc., would make further improvement not only to the sibilance but overall as well. I do have a new HDMI cable with optical conductors on order to connect one source to the HDMI switch and I’ll be evaluating that change. Again, it’s not a “high end” cable at least based on price, but it’s also not a throwaway ultra cheapie.I’m sure there are people who will read this and laugh (if not worse! LOL) and say “cables don’t make a difference!” and “it’s digital; BITS ARE BITS!” Sorry, but that’s just WRONG. If you are one of those people and challenge me to “prove” it with measurement data, well, you’re welcome to your opinion. The history of scientific discovery is littered with the bodies of people who didn’t understand that just because something can’t be measured *now* doesn’t mean an observed phenomenon doesn’t exist or is illusory. The bottom line is that either we’re not measuring the right thing(s) or the tools to measure aren’t good enough.

Not an audiophile by any means. Optical cables are made of either 2 materials, Glass ( Borosilicate Glass Fibers SiO2) or Plastic ( Polymer optical fiber) . Corning Usa (Glass) and Asahi Kasei Japan (Polymer Plastic) are 2 of the top vendors in this category.This cable is a pretty good upgrade over the Single Core Plastic ( POF Polymer optical fiber) cables. Keep in mind POF cables also come with strands ( Asahi Kasei Japan that also makes excellent AKM DACS ) ranging from 19 to 1300 strands ( Sys Concept Optical Fibers Canada comes with 1300 strands and Audio Quest Vodka series optical cable with around 217 strands).So why a little better sound with this cable over single core plastic cable? Glass optical fibers do have really less signal loss, excellent Refractive Index ( most important aspect for any optical fiber cable), low attenuation and better bandwidth , since they are made of Borosilicate Glass Fibers /Silicone Dioxide/SilicaSiO2. However, same sonic advantage goes with plastic optical fibers with more strands resulting in better audio link/transmission ( Asahi Kasei plastic strand cables).The ends on this cable are better polished , jacketing quality is good, better cladding material , end caps looks of great quality. Made in Taiwan. No complaints here.Sound is more smoother, clean ( imagine like you added a DAC between cd player and receiver/amplifier), bass is accurate and punchy , really sparkling not harsh treble ( this cable really shine in treble section).Just like different DACs ( like AKM, ESS Sabre , Burr brown, Cirrus logic etc) do differ in sound quality, a little goes with optical cables as well ( core material , polishing at the ends etc) but yes they do differ slightly in sound quality . Same goes with different Audio CDs Dyes ( Mitsubishi Metal Azo Dye Cds definitely sounded better than regular Silver Cyanine surface Dye audio Cds). Its just trial and error situation.QED Refrence Quartz Toslink , Wireworld Super Nova 7 , Glass Master Toslink from DH Labs and Lifatec Silflex are alternative choices that have the glass core as well, but at high price point.All in all, extremely pleased and satisfied with this cable at a very good price point. It does serve its purpose. I will leave Attenuation , Refractive Index ( most important aspect ) Bandwidth, Cladding Material, Signal loss , Jitter etc for other audiophiles who have much better knowledge of it.
