Would this work to connect sony walkman to chord HUGO?
http://www.sony.jp/walkman/products/WMC-NWC10/

The ZX1 could have digital output to Hugo, using only a combination of two cables. The sony WMC-NWH10 (and no other) as well as a usb to mini usb cable. Not sure for other Sony DAPs though.

I just ordered a Hugo and will want to connect it to my 240 via the mini toslink output to the Hugo. I want something of quality, but the specific need is a custom length—4 inches.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions? I normally buy my toslink cables from Lifatec and I have made an inquiry about whether they can custom build a cable for me. I thought I would reach out to the community to see if there are other worthy options.

You get a couple of toslink cables with the Hugo, but neither are that short. I prefer to use a longer cable, so that I can put the Hugo and my player in separate pockets and spread the load a bit...

Do either of the toslink cables included have a mini toslink end on one side?

Thank you for your reply ... I'll check them out.

Yes, that's the white one at about 0.5m

Thank you for replying. Well, I can start off using the included cable if I need to. I wonder if the included cable will pass 24/192?

No reason why it shouldn't - it's what happens either end of the cable that determines that,but that is the max for the Hugo.

Use the cables enclosed in the box it works up to DSD 128. It's fine. The ak only does pcm. If all is ok then buy a custom fit angle or something but don't spend the money now
And it might not be any better either
Enjoy as is for now.

I've read differently, that some toslink cables will not pass 24/192. Now this may be due to materials or connectors, I don't know. Obviously I will have the answer when my black Hugo arrives in a few weeks.

It should but the question is, how well? 192 isn't part of the original toslink spec because it's bandwidth is lower than coax. Even with custom glass types you still need to deal with the stock inboard transmitter/receiver interface which are almost universally meh. One reason I prefer a proper coax interface.

Enjoying the smoothness of the Hugo at work.
