Newer TV's dont have a 3.5 mm output for sound! So needed something to convert the signal! ... the box works perfect! Easy to use! Great connectivity! .. small design! I could buy a new speaker but hey ... this was way cheaper in the meantime! Works perfect! Read more

This little thing does its job well. I convinced my mother to get herself a new TV and she got a LG C5 Evo OLED. The built in speakers on that TV are pretty good just lacking in bass like any TV speaker does. LG's and I'm sure other brands as well allow you to use the TV speakers and optical out at the same time so I thought I'd try this out to convert the optical into RCA jacks I plugged into a mini fosi audio subwoofer amp to power a little Dayton audio 8" sub in a ported box and it works just as I thought it would. There is a fair amount of noise on the 3.5mm out and a miniscule amount on the RCA outs but not enough to hear unless you're a couple feet away and I feel it's acceptable. Read more

Works fantastic and the price is right. the RCA and headphone connections both on simultaneously, I use the Headphone out to a subwoofer and the RCA to an amp without an sub out connection. Get one! Read more

This converter works great. It feels really well built with a solid metal body, and the connections are simple and work well with no noticeable noise or loss in quality. It even comes with a short optical cable! For my specific use-case, I bought this because I noticed some faint electrical noise coming from my PC line out jack when playing games that needed a lot of resources, and this allowed me to pull from the optical jack on my motherboard and output with a 3.5mm cable to my studio monitor controller and straight into my monitors. This completely got rid of the electrical noise, and has been working great. Two minor complaints I have with this converter: it does not include a USB power supply, which is a bit annoying. However, it's really not picky about the type you have as long as it's a very common 5V 1A plug, and it worked totally fine with one I salvaged from an old electric razor. This converter also caused a noticeable decrease in volume. This would not be an issue in a lot of scenarios, but since I was going from my PC to an optical converter, then into a passive studio monitor controller that already decreased the volume a fair bit, I had to do some tweaking. All my settings were maxed out, so I had to turn to a free third-party program called Equalizer APO to add a +8dB gain boost on my primary audio output. The program is a bit weird to use but I got it working after some trial-and-error, so now it's close to the original output level I was used to. Overall, this is a solid converter and a great option if you need a no-frills optical-to-analog converter, as long as you have some extra headroom to allow for the decrease in volume. Read more

worked perfectly for my TV set-up. Even had the instructions that told me what to set the TV sound to so that it would work properly. I bought this to convert my Digital Audio Out to Analog for my Sennheiser headphones. Perfect sound. Read more

I needed a device that could extract audio from a CD player via a digital coaxial cable and convert it to analog output for my mini amp using RCA cables. That’s when I came across this DAC with built-in digital-to-analog conversion. I thought—why not get a basic DAC that also handles the cable conversion I was looking for? There are both positive and negative reviews online about this product. One expert even called it “junk” with poor sonic quality, despite being a DAC. I chose to ignore that review because my primary need was the cable conversion functionality. After testing this DAC with my mini amp (which lacks a built-in DAC), I’m fully satisfied. The sound quality from the mini amp has clearly improved compared to when no DAC was used, and I now enjoy listening to my CD collection through this setup. Given its affordable price and reliable digital-to-analog conversion, I have no complaints at all. Read more
