Anybody else have problems with spdif connection? I have tried all types of spdif cables. They all seem loose on the kemper out and just not a good connection.

What is the device you connect with the Kemper?
You have to set the Kemper as Master. -
No I get connection. Cables just don't seem to grip tight to spdif out. Seems to cause some crackling.

I've had that problem since day1, 5 years ago.
I spend a lot of time changing cables and giving the plug a twist in the back of my KPA to get a good connection.
Eventually I get one and it usually lasts until I move my KPA around to get a better look at the screen and then I start all over again.Once I get it it is a good connection though. But it can be a bit flakey.

Had the same issue and it was an easy fix using a pair of pliers.
Just tighten the plug a little bit (carefully) before you put it on the socket.Let me add that my cable have these plugs that have little slots (see picture) so it's easy to slightly tighten them:

I guess I mis-read the OP. Mine isn't loose, (in fact it is quite tight), but still frequently intermittent until I push it in hard and twist it.
I think you might have hit the nub of his problem though.

I have some similar issue. It seems the connection between PCB board and Spdif socket. It seems the grounding issue. May just need to solder it firmly
-
Mine are fine. They're tight enough but the in is little bit tighter than the out but it doesn't matter as I have zero problem.

The only problem I have with SPDIF is if I don't lock my interface to the Kemper clock I get tiny clicks in the audio. I am using Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 2nd gen.

try to set the Clock Source to SPDIF in your soundcard
