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.

    This device does convert digital to optical, but the quality of the products is not great. However, as of now I did not find any issue.

    This does what it says it will do, however it wasn't the best quality. Took several tries to find one that actually worked right out of the box.

    I have an older surround sound system and needed an optical to analog converter. This device did not work out. The sound was full of intermittent static and could not raise the volume because it would get worse. Did not work for my setup and purpose so I returned for a full refund.

    Sales reps said this item would allow connecting my McIntosh MA 6200 integrated amp (with analog input/output) to connect to Sony 65 OLED TV with optical output. Original sub-contract installer did not understand problem but when "Manny" made special trip to Wickenburg he used TV headphone output with cable supplied by him allowing remote to control component sound output and solve my problem. "Manny" is my hero !!!

    Product worked for all of 10 mins before becoming completely defective and useless. The sound quality went from decent to sounding like tinnitus (a constant thudding or buzzing sound). Pretty sure it’s the reason why it was sold as open box. Been too busy to go through the return process and I’m out of the return policy requirements; Oh well ....

    I purchased this unit to get an optical signal from my new smart TV to converted-to-analog to use with my stereo receiver. This converter (after being used for less that 10-minutes) shorted out. I returned this converter to the store and explained the problem. After I returned home I found that the converter unit had also fried the input board on my stereo receiver. Talk about collateral damage...

    Probably more the fault of the salesman that recommended it. I bought it to plug an outdoor tv into a sonos play 5 which has an analog jack but is linked to a whole home theater system so I could get more volume on the outdoor tv when I wanted it. Found out later that nothing would accomplish what I wanted without purchasing another sonos hub device and connecting it to that tv

    I have a pair of turtle beach gaming headphones and Xbox 360. My Samsung TV has no audio input or output only a digital audio input output. The Best Buy associate pointed me to this product. When I hooked it up to my headphones all I got was static. It could be I didn't hook it up right. Will probably return to store unless someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
