Optical Van Den Hul

My last optical is 20 years old and about time to upgrade. Happily, the sound has added depth and superiority, and the lead itself looks and feels of quality also.

Excellent Cable
19 Oct 2021
Verified Buyer
I've been experiencing a lot of electrical interference when streaming (Tidal & Qobuz, Primare NP5 into a Cyrus Pre2 DAC QR connected with a TQ digital coax Waveform II cable) - I'd always been advised that digital coax cables offered superior sound quality to Optical TOSLINK cables so have always shyed away from using optical cables, but thought I'd give the Optocoupler ago and it has not only completely solved the interference problems but I honestly can't tell any difference in sound quality when compared to the TQ cable that cost almost seven times the price.

The Optocoupler II is a fantastic cable. Highly recommended.

Huge step up from my Chord Hugo's standard cable
10 Feb 2021
Verified Buyer
WOW!

I bought a Chord Hugo DAC for my Roksan Caspian M2 CD player, and was a bit disappointed.

Yes it was better than the Roksan alone, but on certain "darker" sounding CDs was a bit muddy and on most recordings a bit "polite".

This brilliant cable improved things significantly. More dynamic, more open, more detailed, tighter base, clearer vocals and beautiful, clean highs.

All this adds up to a far more involving, rhythmic, natural and beautifully balanced sound quality, plus significantly better defined sound stage, and not a hint of brightness or sibilance.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED in terms of both sound quality and value.

Highly recommended. Used for linking my Sony TV to a Canton sound base, results compared to the cable supplied with the sound base are astonishing. The clarity and bass in particular are both vastly improved. I can’t recommend highly enough

Big improvement over cheapo optical cable.
23 Nov 2017
Verified Buyer
Bought to improve the overall sound of my AV system( Samsung TV linked to Canton 75 Soundbase) The improvement over the originally used cheap cable was immediately apparent. the sound became more alive, dialogue much clearer and particularly action movies which involved you directly in the action. The overall sound is clear yet smooth, the bass in particular provides a vast improvement. I have since bought a second cable to link my Arcam tuner to my Quad Preamp/DAC with similar results.

Usual high class service from future Shop - ordered one day and received the next. Excellent all round.

I purchased this cable the 10.03.2016, and again the 31.12.2016.

I thought, I could safe some money by buy a TCI Coral Digital Audio cable, Award ***** stars in What HI-FI Sound & Vision 2010, when I was in a need for one more optical cable, the 05.11.2016.

Side by side, I realised that the Van Den Hul optical cable was way above the TCI cable ?
t was to restive restrained / dark, muddy sounding to my system ?
