Optical cables dont fit

[jensende]

Hi

I have now two Wiim Minis and they dont accept a bit more expensive oprical cables the simply just fall out and dont snap in to place.

I have now tried with three different ones:

Supra Zac
Chord C-lite optical
Atlas Element Optical

None of these snap in to place (the work with the rest of the equipment at home).

The supplied cable obibously works fine but I would like to have a better optical cable.

What do you guys use? suggest? Is there a high quality optical cable that fits ?

Regards
Jens

This is the new word for someone who actually knows what they are talking about? Do you even understand how the data and clock are encoded in the spdif signal ? This might make you understand why the whole "round off square waveforms" is complete nonsense and so are most stories revolving around 'jitter' in the audio world

HI All,
Bottom line: for Wiim mini users who have a problem with the toslink connector, you can use any brand at any price. Just remember to connect it to your DAC with a cable with plastic tips (gold plated tips do not work and may damage the optical port).
