I would recommend the Audioquest Optilink 3

The reason why I would recommend it is that I've organized a shootout on my Devialet (D-Premier by that time). It was between an 'El Cheapo' optical cable and the Audioquest Optilink 1 and the Optilink 3. The O3 being the convincing winner of the contest.

Sound quality from my TV not being paramount, I bought a cheap 10m optical cable for eight quid from Amazon to connect my Sony Bravia to my Dev. As it turned out, the sound quality is fantastic.

I've no doubt that their cables work, but "trustworthy"? I'm not so sure ...

I second the Lifatec.

Excellent performance at a very reasonable price.
