Selling 6m very high quality, glass optical cable. Mini toslink ideal for Apple multi sockets as per use for MacBook Pro etc. Adapter to convert to full size can be supplied and if needed I can pop one in with). I'm selling due to changes in my audio set up. I simply don't need it any more. It's used, but as it has been buried under carpet (never walked over or pulled tight round corners) it is in very good condition with no external discolouration of the silflex outer. I was using it MacBook Pro to offboard dac at 196khz. I never had any signal problems.

I know that many take the view that digital is 1's and 0's and it either works or it doesn't. The truth is that it is way more complicated than that. POF or polymer cables do not offer the same clarity (literally), and consequently the same bandwidth. Pretty much all digital to analogue converters (Dacs) can cope with compromised flow of information, error correction keeps the music flowing until signal becomes too degraded. However, that loss has an impact. It is more relevant over longer distances. If you have a computer or source some way from your dac or Hi Fi rack, then distance is a compromise because with POF cable there is a loss of bandwidth. I noticed a distinct improvement in clarity when I switched from a POF cable to this cable.

This cable is as good as it gets. Lifatec supply optical cable for Hi tech medical, military, industrial and audio applications. Don't take my word for it. Check out Lifatec's website.

I purchased this direct from the USA. Cables like this are simply not available in the U.K. (Apart from a Wireworld at 3m and £400!).

In addition to costs on the photographed delivery note there was a further £45 import duty.. at today's exchange rates and including import duty this cable would be close to £300 if not more. I bought from the states because as I say cable of this quality is simply not available in the U.K.

Any questions please feel free to ask. U.K. Mainland Shipping only. Will be sent 1st class to sign for, but happy to arrange special delivery for whatever the additional cost is. Collect or can meet if not too far.

I have reduced the price. Apologies to anyone seriously interested as I have also had to end the listing and remove the offers function due to issues with one particular person.

I note there are a fair few watchers. I will not be reducing again so if you are actually watching in the hope the price will drop further. It won't.
