Works really well, and if you’re looking for one of these you already know they’re not the easiest type of cable to find. Using this with a Chord Mojo 2, you’ll get far superior sound than any built in dac in practically any case. Use your cd player as a transport instead, thank me later lol! But once again, if you’re looking for this, that was probably why in the first place. I’ve managed a sample rate as high as 352 .8 so far, and seems able to go even higher if need be!

Ordered this to connect my MacBook to an external DAC, looks really well made, but I'm getting no sound. Looking around the web for instructions with no luck. I know that I may need to configure the MB's audio to be PCM, but there's no way the MB could identify the DAC via the 3.5mm audio jack. Any ideas on how-to are welcomed. Please and Thanks!

I wanted an SPDIF cable that would connect my streamer (RCA coax out) to my iFi DAC. It wasn’t 100% clear which type of 3.5 mm coax connection would work with the iFi iDSD signature. The TRS configuration shown in the photo of this product is what does indeed work with the iFi SPDIF input.

Purchased to connect iBasso DX-170 DAP to Topping E50 coax output. Completely unsuccessful initially but first firmware update of the DAP resolved matters completely. Happily recommend both products.

I should've read the reviews first because it doesn't work with the Bifrost either according to another review. It is not giving me any audio into the Schiit Modi 3+ and I've tested direct from my device to headphones and it is working. Not sure if it's just poor manufacture or if there is something that needs to be enabled in the DAC, but I've also tried to connect it to the Signstek DAC with no success there either so it seems to be a bad cable.

iBasso DX160 は、3.5mmステレオ出力端子に SPDIF 準拠のデジタルデータを出力することができ、TOPPING D90(DX7proとかも)は同軸ケーブル端子入力(COA)でそれを受け取ることができ(同軸デジタル)、本製品で両者を接続して問題なく音楽を再生できました。送受信フォーマットは 192kHz 24b までの PCMを動作確認。キャッチコピーに偽り無しです。DX160 側でデコードされたものがそのままビットパーフェクトで伝送されているようです。今時の DAP, DAC なら USB OTG 接続で AISO を使った方が 768kHz PCM や DSDを転送出来て、同軸デジタル、光デジタル接続を使う理由がなくなりつつありますが、DAP の場合、USB をデータ転送につかってしまうと、その間、充電ができなくなってしまう問題があります。本製品を使って、同軸デジタル接続を行うことで、そのような問題が解消され、かつ、ビットパーフェクト転送による高音質の再生が実現できます。

This cable is good and does what it is meant too.I am stingy when it comes to giving 5 stars as most things can be that little bit better.

The description is clear enough - this is supposed to be compatible with the coaxial output from a Fiio X3 ii. It does not work. Just to make sure that I hadn't got something set incorrectly, I swapped back and forth between this and another (supposedly lesser quality) cable, and the original cable worked perfectly while the new one didn't. It appears to be solid and well made, but that counts for nothing if it doesn't do the job for which it was intended.

Failed after one month and a few days - you guessed it - outside the return window. 3.5mm plug connection to the cable (Coax with a braided cover to look fancy) just pulled right off. There was no strain relief on the shield, so all the insertion/removal force is concentrated on the center conductor. Will have to repair it myself, and I'll put some heat-shrink over the connector hood and coax to provide a little more support....
