Atlas Element 3.5mm to Optical Digital Interconnect
Atlas Element 3.5mm to Optical Digital Interconnect
£26.00
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.
Toslink Mini/3.5mm Connector
Combination mini Toslink digital/3.5mm analogue connector.
PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate)
Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), sometimes known as ‘acrylic glass’ clad in a high-efficiency Fluoropolymer.
Single Fibre
The cable is constructed using a light-conducting core surrounded by a material of a lower refractive index than that of the core material all contained within a soft protective anti-vibration cover.
