AudioQuest - Toslink-to-3.5mm Mini Optical Adapter - Black

My new Channel Master DVR is amazing. But, in order to have the slimmest case (Amazingly thin!) it utilized a mini-toslink to full size Toslink for my Home Theater Audio. The "Audioquest Mini Adaptor" did the trick and works well, too. The most interesting aspect of this is that few people carry these gems. Only one Best Buy in Phoenix (Glendale Arrow Head) did, and they keep them in the back. (Shh...)

This product was recommended to me to purchase for use with my home stereo system. What I was not told is that this adapter CANNOT and WILL NOT work on any system that does not use digital audio signals. I was wanting to convert the optical signal from my 4K tv to my stereo aux port so I could get sound from my stereo instead of my TV. It was not explained to me prior to purchase that this adapter would not convert the audio into a signal my stereo could read. I have an analog system instead of a digital system. For someone who didn't really know much about digital audio conversion and if it could even be converted, this should have been explained. For someone who has a media source that accepts digital audio and they want to use the aux port on the system, I know this would work fine.

Exactly what I needed to set up my roku soundbar and get high quality sound

I believe this is just what I need, but have not been in the valley so have not actually tried it. I was able to pick it up on my way out of town. Everyone at the store was very helpful. Thank you.

I originally purchased a cheaper Toslink-to-3.5mm mini optical adapter for my HTPC running XBMC to connect to our 5.1 surround system. You get what you pay for sometimes. The cheaper adapter would not stay connected to the end of my Toslink cables. With the slightest bump to the cable the adapter would pop off and kill the audio. This AudioQuest adapter stays put. There is a very positive snap when the adapter is put on the cable and it will not come off until you want to remove it from the cable. It stays plugged into the mac mini as well and won't accidentally come unplugged.

This review applies to both Best Buy Service and the product. I purchased an Airport Express with Digital Optical for sound quality. The instructions were not clear an adaptor was required, i was looking for a whole cable, for days online. I went to my local Best Buy Store. It took a less than 5 minutes for the associate in Home Theatre to figure out what I needed. It does the thick. Thanks Best Buy! Great service yet again

I have an Amazon speaker which does not have a mini optical adapter. I plugged this in and I couldn't be happier.

I had originally bought a cheap one on amazon. When I connected my toslink to the amazon one, it would slip out. The audioquest adapter holds the toslink securely. Teh cable snaps right in.
