Improved sound
Size: 0.75 meters
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.

Woah....money well spent
Size: 0.75 meters
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.

High Quality cable
Size: 8 meters
As all Audio Quest cables the quality is excellent. I am using this to connect my TV to my DAC, sound is excellent. This is not the highest grade cable out there buy for TV audio it suits the job in my opinion. No the Cheapest cable out there, but you get the quality you pay for.

Quick shipping and superb, consistent, quality system connections.
Size: 0.75 meters
These cables were shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. I have always been impressed by the consistently good sound I get from AudioQuest cables, and the Forest and Evergreen series provide this consistency throughout my system at an affordable price point.

so obviously the sound will be fine and I'm very happy with the product
Size: 0.75 meters
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.

Performs way better than expected
Size: 0.75 meters
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.
