Re: Where's digital cable expert (ADAT)?optical toslink is identical to optical adat as far as cable is concerned. The hosa isnt a great quality cable but it will work fine til its abused enough to stop working. Clocking shows up as 'ticks' that make the levels jump about half way up the meter. I dont have a good guess as to what your actual problem is, but its not the cable. You could confirm this by swapping the live wires cables and checking.
