Customer Ratings & Reviews

The converter does what it's supposed to do and allows me to channel the digital audio output of my TV through my older home stereo, which only has RCA input ports. The converter is at a great price, which also saved me $100's to $1K's, since I don't have to upgrade my TV and/or home stereo for compatibility of the two. I'm not going to comment on the aesthetics of the converter because it's easily hidden out of site behind my TV, due to the converter's compact design.

This did the trick when my TV didn't have regular audio outs for wireless headset I was using. This product allowed me to take the audio signal from the optical output on the TV and send to analog to transmit through my Bluetooth headset. Now I can use all of my devices connected to the TV instead of just one at a time. Worked for my solution! Only negative is that it needs power. I wished it was just a simple adapter, but unfortunately needs to be powered.

THIS CONVERTER DOES THE JOB AND DOES IT VERY WELL. NO ISSUES ON INSTALLATION. VERY SATISFIED WITH IT. NO DIFFERENCE IN SOUND. IT SOUNDS GREAT!

I recently purchased a Dynex Optical Coaxial Digital to Analog Converter. The device allows me to use my headphones by way of an optical cable to the Dynex and two RCA plugs from the Dynex into the auxiliary ports on my receiver. Besides using the Dynex for my headphones, I can use my receiver speakers. Be sure to set your digital TV Sound to PCM. The Dynex is a needed solution to a vexing problem.

I had to buy this audio converter box because we have an older Bose 321 system. There's nothing wrong with the system but it's not meant to connect to the newer devices. Bought a new blu ray player and its sound wire was an optical connection. The 321 doesn't accommodate that. So I consulted with the experts and they said this is what I needed. I didn't believe it but I said what the heck, if it doesn't work I'll return it. It works fantastic! It doesn't compromise the sound at all. And the best part, I used reward certificates for it so I didn't pay anything out of pocket for it. Certainly not $1500 for a new Bose system!

I got this as a gift for my dad. I purchased him a LG LED TV that only has optical out (which is lame imo) so I got him this so that he can hook up some wireless headphones to watch tv when he doesn't want the tv volume on. So far it seems to be working fine. No problems to report as of yet.

Bought this adapter to use surround sound with my ps4. Read some bad reviews but have to say I've had nothing but good luck with it. Works like detailed.

I bought this converter to hook up my new Insignia receiver to my LG LED TV. The LG TV only has digital audio output so I used the converter to hook up to my receivers RCA input. It works great and the sound quality is excellent.

I have been wanting a pair of headphone to use with my smart TV since I live in an apartment and don't want to bother neighbor's. I was told by a sales person at best buy that I need the coax/audio cable to attache to the TV in the optical output then into my headphones. I sure saved a bunch of money which I probable would still would have had to buy this accessory. It work's marvelous. Thank you sales person who knew what I wanted. It never hurts to ask.

Bought this to use with my PS4 on surround sound and it works great. No issues hooking it up or using it. Much cheaper then other brands, but does the same job.

I have this hooked up to my XBOX One. I have an older surround sound system that only has the red/white AV hookup. This is converting the optical sound signal from the XBOX One and sending it to my my older analog sound system. It also has a reverse option on it as well and you can make it convert analog to optical as well. There is a switch on the side of it that controls the conversion, if your converting optical to analog you switch it to the optical side, if your converting analog to optical you switch it to the analog side. I can now listen to my XBOX One on my old sound system.

This is a good digital-to-analog sound converter. Very easy to se up.. No problem in the sound quality. Occasionally, there is no sound coming from (I have to turn it off and on again to make it work). But, overall, I like it and use it everyday.

I bought this item to take the digital optical output of my Apple TV, convert it into analog, and feed into my Onkyo preamp, which feeds a vintage Carver magnetic field amp. Great sound quality, and easy to wire up.

I bought this so I could use wireless headphones with my Panasonic TC-L42D30 TV. That TV only has digital audio output via an optical audio port, so I could not just connect the headphones to it. I have tested the setup with the following video/audio sources on the TV, and they all work: - Cable TV - Netflix through VieraCast - Youtube through VieraCast - Blu-ray player connected via HDMI (just set the audio output of the blu-ray player to be PCM) - Chromecast'ing a browser tab from a Windows laptop There weren't any complicated settings that needed to be changed to make this work (other than the audio output on the Blu-ray player).

Purchased converter to connect my new Samsung 4HDTV to my Yamaha analog receiver. Sounds great!

Used to connect Apple TV to Sony wireless headphones which I bought for my mother who is hard of hearing. The TV has no audio output and anyway my parents wanted to watch together. So the Apple TV is connected to their TV with an HDMI cable, and the Apple TV is connected to the Digital Audio Converter (DAC) with an Optical (Toslink) cable, and the headphones are connected to the DAC with a standard audio cable (with the red and white ends) and the sound comes out of the headphones and the TV. Much easier and cheaper ($25 for the DAC and $17 for the Toslink) than getting an amplifier/receiver.

This product works very well. Easy to set up. Make sure to switch to PCM on some tvs.

Connections are very easy to do. Sound quality after connections are great.

easy to setup , allow me to use my old audio system with my new tv.

It is a good product for what i looking for to work with the system and it work great, so i save some $$. The sound is clear for me.
