I ordered this cable because I wanted to used the optical digital input of my new amplifier Onkyo A-9050. The cable arrived in the usual delivery time and was also tried the same. The build quality is great, the cable is extra rigid and it is very well protected in principle against accidental kinking. If you do not even try by hand to do so, while probably not a cable is prepared.
At the soundcard of my PC (Creative Sound Blaster Recon 3D), however, the cable stopped immediately, not as in my amplifier. It never rested, and was also equal heraußen again with minimal effort. After several try I got the cable finally again packed and sent back. In itself, there is the price really say anything, but it had probably should not be.
