Here, the money is well spent: The Opto-cable seems very well made and provides both sides reliable connections between my devices forth. Anyone who has ever tormented with some low cost adapter, will appreciate this. I would just like to see some greater lengths on offer ... Just see: Is there a HQSS4624 / 2.5 with 2.5 m here. But only found when one manufacturer: HQ investigated. The 1.5m cable is very short. Have any converted by 3 feet.
