the sssnake Optical Cable 5m

Bought two to connect my Focusrite Saffire to my Behringer ADA8000. Had all sorts of problems and eventually it seemed that one cable was dead. The replacement seemed better but I still got different results from each cable (which obviously shouldn't be the case with digital cable).

I was sent a replacement Mutec cable instead and realised that by comparison, the connectors on the sssnake cable were very loose fitting. The Mutec locks in firmly, but the sssnake cables wobble.

Spent a lot of time trying to track this down and given my experiences with the sssnake microphone cables I bought a while back, I would probably avoid sssnake cables in future.

I bought this to link my KORG Triton Extreme's digital out to a converter to go into my desk. The reason for this was that the KTE's analogue out was quite noisy. This has solved the problem. The noise is far, far less with this set up.

The cable has allowed a decent distance to be reached between the KTE and the mixer; the only other optical cables I had at my disposal were short (probably about 75cm - 1m) which did not allow a stretch to the mixer (other than having an extended audio cable from the converter to the mixer.)

I recommend this cable to anyone wanting to extend the reach of their optical ins and outs!
