[QUOTE="Ryan Lantzy, post: 80231, member: 7"] Re: Where's digital cable expert (ADAT)? Are you sure the HD24 was set up to accept an external clock? I've been using an HD24 for several years with cheap RCA (brand) optical TOSLINK cables and I've never had an issue. In my experience, the build quality of TOSLINK cables does vary, but as long as the thing is not kinked or cracked any cable will work with ADAT Lightpipe. The thing to remember is that Lightpipe is just the data standard - not the cable standard. Home theater systems use S/PDIF over TOSLINK. ADAT recorders use Lightpipe over TOSLINK. The cable standards are the same. My guess is that you had a cable or connector that was damaged in some way, or a clock problem somewhere. Posibly dust/dirt in the TOSLINK connector on the ADAT or source device. [/QUOTE]
