Static noise connecting DAC via toslink

I currently have my Havana DAC connected to the MAC Mini via USB, however, I get a lot of static (sounds like pink noise) when I connect via tosklink? Any ideas?

thanks

It is suggested to find a way to keep optical port open all the time on MAC Mini. I hope it will help.
