TOSLink cable
Hi,
Yesterday i did a live recording, and i noticed some digital pikes coming out of my OctoPre I've connected my OctoPre to my 002R via a TOSlink adat cable. A very thin one. Can these spikes being caused by the cable if it's broken? i've replace it with another (same thin type) and spikes are gone. What is a good cable to by? I there realy difference? Thanks Jeroen

Re: TOSLink cable
The spikes probably have to do with not having the clock set to optical/ADAT when tracking. Lightpipe cables ARE thin, so no worries there. Mine are made by HOSA, and are relatively inexpensive.

Pops & clicks are usually caused my mismatched sample clocks/wrong sync settings. A 'broken" optical cable would more than likely not transfer the stream, therefore your system would show "no/invalid clock error" happy tooling, a
