[all-audio] decent optical switch?

2020-12-12 Thread goshawk on horseback
hello all, 
does anyone know of a really decent 3 input or more optical/toslink switch? 
the only ones I can find seem to be those from Lindy or Cyp, which both seem to 
be the same, just with a different name on them. and whilst the specs on them 
look decent, the actual build quality is very lightweight and plasticky, which 
has caused me 2 issues, as follows: 
1, because they are so light and have no real body to them, when using decent 
but heavy optical cables, the weight of the cables tends to pull the switch off 
of where ever it is placed. 
and 2, so far, I have had at least 3 of these in the past, (the 4way version), 
and with out acception, they have only lasted about 6 weeks max before they go 
wrong, at a guess because I would say that again, the weight of the decent 
cables is too much for the rubbish build of the sockets on the switch. 

Simon
