Need optical cable recommendation for WiiM Mini.

[Waltbro]

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.

Use the one supplied by WiiM.

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.

I don’t recall my Wiim coming with an optical cable. I’ll have to pull out my big box with about a million cables and look.

Before you do, please check the contents of the Mini package. Have you thrown it away already?

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.
