AudioQuest Carbon Fiber-Optic Cable

Introducing the fantastic AudioQuest - Carbon - Fiber-Optic Cable. This top-tier product isn't any ordinary cable, it's the culmination of expertise and innovation, setting new standards for your digital audio transmission. Boasting 19 Narrow-Aperture Synthetic Fiber Conductors, this cable aims to reduce jitter factor, also known as digital timing errors, to the barest minimum. This is achieved with Precision Polished Fiber Ends designed specifically to enhance accurate signal transmission.

While Toslink connectors aren't quite as frequently used in DVD player to A/V receiver connections anymore, thanks to HDMI, they are still highly prevalent in cable boxes, TV sets, subwoofers, and an array of electronic products. Even more, the proliferation of the 3.5mm Mini Optical connector, colloquially known as Mini-Toslink, is a common feature in today’s tech—from the dual-purpose headphone jack on your Mac laptop to inputs on the finest portable devices. That’s why AudioQuest has invested in refining, redefining and elevating our OptiLink cables to more serious, high-performance standards. Now, all models and lengths are available from Toslink to Toslink and Toslink to 3.5mm Mini Optical.

We've triumphed over the enduring challenge of optical fibre transmission by designing our cables with Low-Dispersion Higher-Purity Fiber Conductors. So, bid goodbye to late arriving signals that strain your devices and bask in the clarity and quality of your sound. The punchline? The lower the dispersion in the fiber, the fewer the distortions and the purer the sound to your ears. Please note that we usually keep only 1.5m lengths in stock, all other sizes are either limited in stock or requested from AudioQuest as needed. Experience cutting edge sound delivery today with the AudioQuest - Carbon - Fiber-Optic Cable. Please enquire for more information.

Features:

  1. 19 Narrow-Aperture Synthetic Fiber Conductors: Designed to limit jitter or timing errors in your digital signals, providing smoother, flawless audio transmission.

  2. Precision Polished Fiber Ends: Carefully crafted to enhance accurate signal transmission, optimizing the interaction between your devices.

  3. Flexible Connectivity: From Toslink to Toslink, and Toslink to 3.5mm Mini Optical, these cables provide broad compatibility with various devices including cable boxes, TV sets, subwoofers, and other electronics with these connectors.

  4. Lower-Dispersion Higher-Purity Fiber Conductors: Engineered to limit light dispersion, this feature ensures your signal arrives at the right time, enhancing the decoding process and presenting a far less distorted audio signal to your ears.

  5. Diminutive Sizes: Currently, 1.5m lengths are kept in stock. All other sizes may be requested as needed from AudioQuest.

Benefits:

  1. Enhanced Sound Quality: The precision polished fiber ends work to reduce digital timing errors to the barest minimum, delivering sound with unparalleled clarity and sharpness.

  2. Wide Compatibility: Whether your device uses Toslink or 3.5mm Mini Optical connectors, these cables will serve you well, enhancing the functionality and utility of your electronic products.

  3. Improved Audio Transmission: By implementing Lower-Dispersion Higher-Purity Fiber Conductors, the AudioQuest - Carbon - Fiber-Optic Cable ensures your digital signals are decoded correctly, presenting you with pure, undistorted sound.

Availability Please enquire for in-store stocks. Only 1.5m lengths are kept in stock. All other lengths are kept in limited stock or requested from AudioQuest as needed.
Conductors 19 Narrow-Aperture Synthetic Fiber Conductors
Performance Low-Jitter (Digital Timing Errors)
Fiber Ends Precision Polished for better quality
Applications Commonly used to connect DVD player to an A/V receiver, cable boxes, TV sets, subwoofers, and other products. Perfect for 3.5mm Mini Optical connector and Toslink to Toslink applications.

Dispersion Lower-Dispersion Higher-Purity Fiber Conductors. The less dispersion in the fiber, the less distortion in the final analog audio signal.
Warning The problem with optical fiber transmission is dispersed light. It gets through the Toslink cable, but only after it has taken a longer path, causing it to arrive later. This delayed part of the signal prevents the information from being decoded properly, or even at all. Reducing bandwidth is a notable signature of light being dispersed by a fiber.

The Black Pearl Power Cable is a pretty substantial piece of kit, superbly constructed - it beats the usual black kettle lead hands down on looks and construction. It is however, fairly stiff so you need to allow it to hang in graceful arcs - no sharp bends. Being heavy it also needs a little support so it doesn’t drag on sockets at either end of the cable. Has it made a difference in the sound? Well, I have made so many changes all at once that I cannot definitively say if it has or not, but I am pretty sure that those electrons are having a whale of a time running along the conductors in the cable, and this hobby is all about joy!

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.
