Description
AudioQuest OPTILINK Forest is an optical cable for those who want to get clean, calm and as accurate as possible digital sound without unnecessary artifacts and “digital jitter”.
Forest uses real optical fiber, not plastic fiber, as in most budget optical cables. This is the key point: the signal is transmitted more accurately, with less loss and much lower jitter. As a result, the sound becomes smoother, the scene is more stable, and the high frequencies are clean and unobtrusive.
A separate feature is Low-Dispersion Fiber. Simply put, the light pulse is not “smeared” over time, but reaches the receiver clearly and synchronously. This is what gives the feeling of a more collected sound, better focusing of instruments and a more pleasant presentation of details without sharpness.
OPTILINK Forest is completely isolated from electrical noise — no interference, ground loops or background. Ideal for connecting a TV, streamer, CD transport or console to a DAC, receiver or active speakers.
In terms of sound, it is cleanliness, peace and order. It doesn't artificially emphasize anything, doesn't "highlight" the number, but simply lets the system play as it really can.
AudioQuest OPTILINK Forest is the perfect option for those who want to take a significant step up from basic optical cables and hear that even TOSLINK can sound serious.
