Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter — Optical/Coaxial to RCA & 3.5mm DAC

Reviews

1. G Gururaj K Hebbar 4/5

   Very nice

   Simple device, worked with my setup without fuss.

2. I I don't want to tell you my name. 1/5

   Poor cable fit and quality issues

   The optical lead wouldn’t seat securely in my devices and kept falling out. I couldn’t fully test everything before my return window closed due to personal issues, but overall build and fit felt low quality. Disappointed with the reliability.

3. L Linda U. 5/5

   Solved my hookup problem

   Connected my older stereo to a new LG television with this unit — solid build and simple to wire. I had to change the TV audio to output both speakers and optical; using optical-only caused loud static. Works fine now.

4. T Ti 5/5

   Does the job

   Used it to tie an older TV into an HDMI splitter/switch setup with a DVD player and streaming stick. No problems — it worked as expected.

5. S Soorya 1/5

   Product info was misleading

   Listing promised a converter, fiber cable, 5V/1A adapter and manual, but I only got the converter and a micro-USB cable. The item also didn’t work when hooked to my TV and speaker, so I returned it.

6. T TomBGT 4/5

   Does what it should, watch the caps

   Hooked it up so my Samsung TV could send audio to my Logitech speakers when the TV is used as a monitor. Works well — but the optical ends have protective caps that must be removed. Also remember to set the TV’s audio to PCM.

7. I Ira T 5/5

   Small, effective, good value

   Used it to feed a large portable speaker from a TV in our MakerSpace. Initially had buzzing until I adjusted the TV’s audio output setting, then it became crystal clear even at long distances. Wish it included a 3.5mm lead, but performance is good and I’d buy another for other locations.

8. F Franklin Reaume 5/5

   Solid little DAC

   Performs well for basic needs and comes with a power supply.

9. S Skinforhair 5/5

   Saved my old headboard speaker

   I needed to keep an analog speaker connected after upgrading the TV. The converter ran off a TV USB port and fed the headphone jack on the speaker. I had to enable both TV speakers and optical output or I got a horrible screech, but otherwise it worked well.

10. M M. Fuller 3/5

    Functional but not high fidelity

    It connected my LG OLED’s optical out to an Onkyo receiver, but there was noticeable audio delay and some bass distortion. Fine for emergency or backup use, but not suitable for critical listening.

11. M macrus 4/5

    Good performance but pricey

    Not perfect, but it works reliably. I just think it’s a bit more expensive than it should be.
