Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Optical/Coaxial Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter for its great sound quality and ease of use. Many find it compatible with their existing setups, especially when HDMI is not an option, and consider it a good value for the price. The only notable drawback mentioned is the absence of a volume control feature.

    Needs to be restarted from time to time in order to work. I wished it was powered through tv usb port and shut off when tv is off.

    I bought this because the sound levels on my TV were very low. I have DirecTV and tied this into the DirecTV box first but it only worked on one chsnnel.I moved it to the TV directly and it still only worked on one channel all other channels are loud static. Mostly now it just sits, does seem to work on Amazon and Netflix and ones like that. Not sure if problem is with this or DirecTV but tech support on both points me to the other

    I purchased this because my tv doesn't have an optical out port. This one was going in the wrong direction as far as conversion. Had to return

    Wished had better instructions- especially if you are not real knowledgeable about this sort of thing. Needs better instructions for the "first-timer".

    The RCA jacks are Analog out. Optical/Coaxial in. It's not reversible. If you need RCA in, this wont work for you.

    Does the task but when you shut off your tv for the night when turning it back on the next day you'll have to unplug the converter from the power source and plug it back in to get it going again, everytime you shut down your set up you will need to do this in order to get audio again

    Check your TV for PCM forcing before buying!

    My LG TV does not have an option to force the digital output to be PCM only and this box can NOT handle Dolby or DTS correctly. (This is printed on the device but not seen in the Specifications.) This meant that over-the-air PBS which uses Dolby just results in spits and static audio. It will work for watching Netflix via Roku as the Roku itself can be forced to be PCM only and the TV passes that thru.

    The device didn't perform as tech had told me for my system, which is unique. It seemed to work well for what it is intended for.
