Element Optical–3.5mm

Designed for use with the dual function analogue/digital sockets typically fitted to computers, wi-fi devices and portable audio devices to a DAC or amplifier with built-in digital inputs.

Toslink (optical) connections have become increasingly popular for audio use with the rise of ‘dual purpose’ personal audio players and networked devices which are frequently connected to home hi-fi systems.

Optical has a different set of strengths and limitations compared to S/PDIF, meaning it remains a valuable option in the ‘digital toolbox,' with some manufacturers stating it as their preferred connection option.

Basic ‘bundled’ Toslink cables typically suffer from a number of issues which degrade the performance of the system. These issues include poor quality core conductor materials, poor matching of conductor to connectors and poor fit of connectors to equipment sockets. =

Atlas Toslink cables are designed to specifically address these issues. Our Toslink cables are designed to specifically address these issues. We utilise a high quality PMMA (‘acrylic glass’) light conducting core coupled with precision machined and micro-polished ABS connectors to maximise efficient transfer. Accurate alignment of the cable components and connectors means the cable is optimised for low jitter performance, resulting in a detailed yet smooth sound ideally suited to satisfactory digital replay.
