Audioquest Forest USB 1.5

For

Against

Many a hi-fi fan is cottoning-on to the idea that by adding a DAC to a computer they can create an extremely capable and flexible music source.

However, as with all areas of home entertainment, you need decent cables to get the most of your electronics.

The AudioQuest Forest is very affordable by standalone cable standards, and it offers all-round improvements over bundled cables.

Detail levels are markedly improved, there’s greater precision and punch, and a general upgrade in musical expressiveness.

In fact, the only thing that holds the AudioQuest back from five stars is the existence of Wireworld’s Starlight, which, while double the price, is also a significantly better performer.

Audioquest Forest HDMI Cable Review

For
Luxurious imagery; lack of noise, smooth sound; well formed bass
Against
Maybe a slight lack of dynamics

In the snazzy and neat looking Forest, Audioquest has produced a worthy cable that's very nearly the match of the all-powerful Chord Supershield.

From the off it's apparent the Forest is a nifty performer. Images through this HDMI are sharp, with crisp, well defined edges, while contrasts here are luxurious, yet refreshingly natural at the same time.

Those who like their images to be detailed won't be disappointed, and we've no quibbles with the supple motion and marked lack of noise either.
