I’ve tried 3 different optical cables for my WiiM Mini and can’t get a snug connection with any of them. It’s always a loose fit. Still works but cables can fall out easily. Wondering what cables will snap in for a snug fit.
Yes, I initially tried older ones from Poundland, that I had used on other devices, and they tended to be a poor fit in the WiiM, but since trying the supplied ones, I have had no problems since.

The Wiim cable fits nicely and is also one of the few that will pass 24/192. But, I found it did not fit well with my DAC. I ended up buying a Pro and using coax output for this exact reason. The mini is now used in a secondary application using analog out. I will say that the cutouts for the coax are too small for some coax cables though.

This morning I connected a Belkin sound form to my ultra to use airplay. Used the usb on the ultra for power and the optical cable that came with my ultra. Works like a charm. Sounds perfect.

I dug through my box of cables, found one that I wasn’t sure of what is was from. Figured it must have come with the WiiM. Connected to the WiiM, and sure enough, a nice snug fit. Far as I can tell, no noticeable degradation in sound quality.
I bought a Wiim Pro and had a problem with the optical output on the first unit I got. At first I thought it was a problem with the cable and/or a loose connection. I would get occasional dropouts when playing 192Hz/24 bit HD audio. Wiggling the optical cable on the Wiim end made it worse. When a new cable had the same problem, I requested a replacement Wiim Pro. The problem went away with the replacement unit.
Perhaps there are issues with some of the optical connectors on various Wiim units?
