I'm finding different pictures of the cable online and can't confirm whether the noise reduction filter is in the C7 connector that would plug into the Apple TV (thus making it incompatible as it would block the HDMI output) or whether it's a standard C7 connector with the filter in the other end (making it compatible).
Edit: if current production units with the C7 connector are the same as this ( https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=46664) should be just fine.
If so, what were your subjective impressions of any differences in audio or video quality using the cable? |
If memory serves, the picture linked to above is the current configuration of production units of V14D Digital with C7 connector. I think they standardized on this configuration because of the no. of use-cases and applications that had problems with the NR filter on the C7 plug blocking access to other ports, as you've described. I use a V14D on my Apple TV and my HDTV, and the improvements it brings to video and audio quality for HDTV is clearly visible and audible.
