Depends on the age of the HD621. You should also have a 1m SpeakerLink cable. Regards, Ian.

How is the quality of the SPDIF cables? Good enough for a 861 or can they better be replaced by good quality cables? Kind regards, WillyP

For an 861 v6 or v8 you use a 1m SpeakerLink cable into the MMHR socket for earlier verions you use the blue SPDIF cables as there is no MMHR. Quality seems ok it is up to you if you want to spend extra I suggest there is no need. Russ

The SPDIF cables were very sought after. Much better quality than they might first appear.

They are extremely well made. The only thing I've found with them is that they fit very tightly - I'm always afraid of damaging the sockets when I connect them

The very latest Neutrik RCA's that are used have a new design of collet which is not so fierce, but grips well. No longer do I have my heart in my mouth when disconnecting! Regards I
