RCA cable recommendation for coaxial digital - up to 192kHz

[rhythm]

Hello,

I am using a WiiM Pro and using the coaxial digital output. To avoid a bunch of trial-and-error, I am looking for recommendations on RCA cables that you know from experience will work all the way up to 192kHz. I am currently using a Mogami 2964 RCA cable (brand: World's Best Cables) that I originally purchased for an analog audio interconnect, and it was fine up to 96 kHz, but silent at 192kHz.

Note: I did find an old set of component video cables lying around and I did have success using one of them for 192kHz files, so I know the rest of my setup is OK for playing 192. But this cable is way longer than I want to use, so I am in need of a new RCA cable that will work for 192kHz daudio.

Thank you,
Greg

Hi,

What length is your Mogami cable? It's very strange that it can't play 192kHz.

Every RCA cable I've tried so far has been able to play 192kHz. Even the RCA cable included with the WiiM can play 192kHz. I don't own any high-end cables, but my 7ft (2.14m) Mogami 2534 was also capable of playing it.

The cable is just 4 feet. I was surprised too. Tonight I tried another Mogami 2964 cable and it worked at 192 kHz, but the test audio sounded a little distorted here and there. But when I lowered the rate to 96kHz, the test audio sounded a little distorted too. So I grabbed the older video cable that I had tried the other day, and it sounded a little distorted at 96kHz too. So now I'm not sure what the heck is going on, and I'm going to need to do some further investigating.

Please disconnect the Pro's power cable, leave it disconnected for a while, and then reconnect it.

Additionally, whilst unlikely, there is a possibility that the charging adapter itself may be faulty. If possible, please try replacing it with another one. Please also try using the cable included with the Pro.
If problem not resolve, I recommend submitting a ticket via the feedback section in the WiiM app.
