Toslink Connection Flakey

I just bought a PS Audio Superlink D/A converter on eBay in order to enhance my Airlink experience with an Airport Express. Unfortunately, the optical connector on the back of the Superlink is flakey and only connects when jiggled. There is a screw on the outside of the box that holds the plastic connector in place. After playing with the screw and a few jiggles, the intermittent signal stopped. Now, no optical signal.

Can anyone suggest a fix?

Did you use paypal? Stop payment-that should get his attention.

My eBay seller is now responding, saying that the optical connection worked before he sent it out. He suggested that I "clean" the connection. How the heck do you do that?

Sounds like nonsense to me.

Yep. Well, I bought a optical/coax converter (CO2 by M Audio) and was able to get the PS Audio Superlink working. Emailed the eBay seller reporting that everything (including the toslink cable that I was using) works except that optical connector on the back. Asked him what he would like to do. Usually eBayers are sensitive about negative feedback, so I await his response.

Thanks for the help.
