UPDATE: Strange encounters. I was using a cheap toslink cable when successfully playing 24/192 music to optical input. When I changed to a better cable, Audioquest Forest, the display was RED and no sound. Switch back to to normal toslink cable, music flows again. This, I couldn't understand why. [scratching head]
...that means it's a worse cable, not a better one...
Yeah, you may be probably right. But, all my other toslink cables can't work, except this one. And, I was told by Devialet support before that its optical input can only accept 24/96 bitrates only. So, being able to play 24/192 music to its optical input is a real surprise.
What brand/model is the cheap cable that works? I would like to look it up and figure out what the difference could be that makes it work. Meanwhile I'll read up on the Toslink specs if I can find them.
