I seem to recall reading somewhere that 10m was the longest length allowed by the TOSLINK spec? Of course now that I'm looking, I can't find it! In any event, when you start pushing the lengths, you're more and more likely to find marginal components -- DCtoDaylight DCtoDaylight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29247 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Just picked-up another 10m TOSLINK cable from local store and it now works fine (and sounds great tooo)!!! The cable that was faulty was new! Anyway, many many many thanks for all your comments/replies.

Have just tried a Slim3 SPDIF (Optical) connected to to the TP and it does not work! Connected the SPDIF (RCA) and this does work fine. I will now find another TOSLINK optical cable and see if this is the problem. By the way, the optical cable I am using is 10 meters long, should this cause a problem? -- paulcalman paulcalman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29247 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

It might - I've had issues with toslink over 5 metres (with non-Slim gear I must point out). Sometimes it works and sometimes not - very gear dependant...(similar issues with HDMI but that's another story) -- Phil Leigh Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29247 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Can you test the optical connection using a different source, ie a CD player? -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29247 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Hi, Tried an audio CD first with no joy. The optical cable from the DVD emits a red light. The DVD optical is setup as PCM rather than Bitstream. I had already seen the link you detailed.

What source material are you using? Try a regular 2-channel CD first. Perhaps the DVD player or the Transporter is having problems with Dolby Digital or DTS streams. I'm a little fuzzy on this, but I think DD/DTS are sent using a specially-encoded PCM stream that the Transporter would have trouble with. I don't know if such a stream is seen as regular 2-channel PCM to a device without a DD/DTS decoder. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29247 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
