Melvin, We are delighted to hear that you are pleased with your cables! Hopefully that post didn't serve to generate further confusion, but the fact is that "it works on our gear at 24/192" is about the best information we can provide at this point. We do occasionally get feedback from customers on what is working with their particular components and at what data rates, however I do not believe this is useful to the potential customer since we haven't witnessed it ourselves, seen the test setup, etc. I don't like to make promises or guarantees based on information that is essentially hear-say by the time it reaches said customer, so the open return policy stands. To anyone with questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to visit our website and send us an e-mail. Thanks, Lifatec USA

Thought we should chime in here! Indeed, our cables are tested in-house at 24 bit, 192kHz data rates with legitimate (not up-converted) 24/192 files. We test with a Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus DAC and a Peachtree Audio X1 USB-to-Toslink converter as our source. We've tested up to 26 feet lengths on this setup (and, just for kicks, passing through a cheap, plastic, Toslink to MiniPlug adapter) and had zero issues at 24/192. The variable, as many here have pointed out and subsequently hit the nail on the head with, lies with the particular components being used and their sensitivity to the higher data rates. Unfortunately, we don't have the time or resources to collect every component and test every combination at 24/192 to look for potential issues. Instead, we offer the open return policy and test the cables at 24/192 on our particular gear with consistent performance. We hope this clears things up (though it really just leaves a question mark as to specifically what will work and what won't!), and we are working with user livelistenlearn to resolve his issues. Cheers, Lifatec USA
