Atlas Element Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable

 

A digital interconnect with a neutral, relaxing sound, proven to be an excellent performance upgrade over ‘freebie’ cables, designed for use with the optical digital sockets typically fitted to CD players/transports and streaming audio devices. Typical usage is to connect, for example, a streaming device such as an Apple Airport Express or Sonos ‘Connect’ to your hifi system.

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.

Atlas' Toslink cables are designed to specifically address these issues, using 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.

 

Features :

  • Atlas Toslink Plug 
  • PMMA Conductors 
  • Single Fibre Construction 


Atlas Toslink Plug

The Atlas Toslink connector combines a die-cast metal plug with ABS Toslink connectors.

PMMA Conductors

Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), sometimes known as ‘acrylic glass’ clad in a high efficiency fluoropolymer.


Single Fibre Construction

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.

 


Specification :

  • Construction : Single Fibre 
  • Material : PMMA 
  • Outside Diameter : 3.5mm

High quality toslink optical cable
7 Nov 2024
I am very pleased with my purchase. The cable is nicely made, especially the connectors.

The cable is light and flexible. I connected my TV to my amplifier so I could enjoy Jools Holland's show in supper quality. I am not disappointed. I highly recommend it, not to mention that it was made in the UK.

Neutral sound.

I bought the same cable a second time because I liked the sound it transmits. Unfortunately, the new one came with worse tips painted in gold from hard plasma. The previous one was much better.

The packaging itself is no longer paper, but nylon.

This replaced a Chord optical cable and made a much better connection than the Chord.

The price is perfect as well.

Well built, solid performance

Using for TV sound into a stereo DAC / amp.

Honestly, I didn't notice a big difference compared to the standard optical cable that came with the TV. However, it's very well made, solid, and looks good (even though you can't see it!), and it's a sensible price.

Good Sound
2 Mar 2023
Verified Buyer
Good quality cable from Atlas. Works perfectly well and sounds good.

Mildly disappointed that they have changed from ABS connectors (as pictured) to gold-plated metal ones, as the fit is quite wobbly. Generally, I've experienced a more snug fit with ABS. Doesn’t seem to affect it though. Hence 4 stars. Otherwise would be 5.

Exactly what was required
17 Oct 2021
Verified Buyer
Use : 4k TV box to AV amplifier. Length required 2 metres. This is very well made and flexible interconnect with a very positive connection to the sockets in both appliances. The sound quality is superb with a beautifully integrated, airy and natural effect as if the electronics was not limiting the bandwidth or emphasising any particular part of the frequency spectrum. [I have used Atlas high end speaker cables for many years and really respect the engineering standards of this company.]

Excellent cable... far above entry level in performance
13 Mar 2018
Verified Buyer
Excellent cable... far above entry level in performance. Really have a huge benefit from using this cable... it replaces free Toslink cable that comes included with devices. It represents a massive upgrade... I was missing out on much treble... and now my bass has also more focus and body to it... very good all round improvement in clarity and density of sound. Really worth the cost. I cannot recommend this enough. Get the best cable you can, it makes a huge difference, with digital as much as analogue.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Cable of good quality of manufacture and sound but the plug it does not hold well. Indeed compared to my old cable to 5 € which has a super good plug, we heard a click when the plugged in and it did not move, this one no !!! Pity !!!

Used to connect a Samsung blu-ray player to a Marantz PM 6006 amp. Marseille, France. Ordered on a Monday, received the following Monday in Marseille France

Câble de bonne qualité de fabrication et sonore mais il ne tient pas bien plugger , en effet par rapport à mon ancien câble à 5€ qui se plugger super bien , on entendait un clic lorsqu'on le plugger et ne bougeait plus, celui-ci non !!! Dommage !!! Utilisé pour connecter un lecteur blu-ray Samsung à un ampli Marantz PM 6006 . Marseille France.
Commandé un lundi ,reçu le lundi suivant à Marseille France
