Thread Starter | Where to find quality dfo / lightpipe cable for UA 4-710d
I can't believe I'm posting this but after searching sites / google and old gs threads I can't seem to find a quality glass digital fiber optical cable anywhere ( around $50-$100 ) . Sweetwater and others mainly carry Hosa $10 cables , google gets me to some monster cables but then I can't search for the difference between . They have like 8 of them . Links to sites on old gs threads on the topic have led me nowhere to my surprise . any links would be greatly appreciated ,

If you are setting it up and leaving it, I would say any optical cable will do. I have used many a $5-$10 cable and have no problem. If you are constantly plugging/unplugging it may be worth paying for something a little more durable but you aren't going to be able to "hear" any difference. The cable's aren't passing audio so as long as they work you will be good. Don't buy into the hype monster tries to sell.

Sorry , I need 8 ( lightpipe ) . Also , I would much rather spend $10 than $50 but I found that the Hosa cables don't fit nice and snug . Especially if you ever run one to a 003 . I found some threads but the links posted don't have lightpipe cables . Just mini adapters . Thank you for replies. This seems like a silly thread but if you were to search where I have you'd see why it seems thread worthy to me . Again , thank you and any help is greatly appreciated !

I get mine from Fry's, use them with a 003, use them live with a Yamaha M7 console, use them in my home theater set up. Something like this... FRYS.com?|?SHAXON |
