Hello fellow Head-Fi'ers,
I was wondering if you had any suggestions on helping me keep my optical cable secure connected to my Bifrost Uber. The problem I am having is that I use optical cables to connect it to my Titanium HD soundcard (bypassing the Titanium HD’s DAC). I have to use a special Optical cable (Toslink Cables) to connect it.
(see attached pic)
My Titanium HD uses a mini Toslink cable on one end, and of course the Bifrost Uber uses the standard size Toslink Optical cable. I have 2 brand new cables for them, both are on the cheap side. The one is a mini Toslink cable to regular Toslink optical cable that came with the Titanium HD, the other one I purchased from Newegg for around $10 (yes, like I said they are cheap).
Anyhow, when connecting the regular sized Toslink cable to the Optical-in of the Bifrost Uber it is extremely loose and slightly touching it, much less moving the Bifrost Uber, will cause it to come out. Now this may not be a big deal for some people, but since my Optical cable is connected to my Titanium HD’s optical output, it is behind my PC, which is also behind a desk against the wall making it extremely difficult to crawl under there to get it and re-attach it, just for it to come loose again when it comes loose from the Bifrost Uber (the mini-plug connected to the Titanium HD is fit securely, it's just the Bifrost Uber's opitical-in that is extremely loose and comes out extremely easily, but when it comes out, like stated above, it falls down behind my desk and computer making it difficult to get, and this happens quite a bit).
Which brings me to my point. Are there any recommendations anyone can recommend as far as optical cables or perhaps an easier solution so that the optical cable fits securely into the Bifrost Uber? I am not sure if it is the optical port on the Uberfrost that is the issue, or if it is just the Optical cables (I have tried two of them, granted they are cheaper ones).
If you have any recommendations and/or easy solutions that I could do to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, or if there is a reasonable priced mini Toslink to regular Toslink cable you can recommend I would greatly appreciate it, although if there is a simple solution that I could do with something I have around the house that would be even better.
Thanks all!
