Atlas Element 3.5mm to Optical (Plus) Cable

Description

Designed for use with the dual function analogue/digital sockets typically fitted to computers, wi-fi devices and personal audio devices. Typical usage is to connect, for example, an Apple Airport Express or Chromecast Audio to a DAC or amplifier. 

A digital interconnect with a neutral, relaxing sound, proven to be an excellent performance upgrade over ‘freebie’ cables.

Toslink (optical) connections have become increasingly popular with the rise of ‘dual purpose’ personal audio devices and DACs, many of which are also used as components in high quality home systems.

However basic ‘bundled’ Toslink cables suffer from a number of issues which degrade the performance of the system. Typically these issues include poor quality core conductor materials, poor matching of conductor to connectors and poor fit of connectors to equipment sockets. These flaws typically combine in very poor ‘jitter’ performance which gives a grainy, tonally bleached sound characteristic of poor quality digital audio.

Our Toslink and Toslink ‘combi’ 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 digital devices.
