    Digital to Analog Converter

    This item converts any of your digital output only products to analog output which allows you to connect your new device to products such as your stereo receiver for a zone II connection which still requires the analog connection to share this audio with other zones. This item is very easy to connect and it is priced right making this a very good purchase.

    It’s a good price for the easy to use converter. I use it to convert audio from optical cable out from smart TV to have regular standard audio cable into old system speakers.

    Works exactly as expected. I have a large surround sound stereo system for movies and a small media bar for everyday listening as the tv speakers are sub par and there are limited plugins from the television. With this device, I was able to utilize all of the equipment. I only deducted 1 star due to having to unplug the power to the device to reset it once in a while when the surround sound occasionally loses connection to the device. A simple power reset and we are going again.

    I had a pair of turtle beach headphones from like 2011 or 2012 that still used RCA cables. Lo and behold this little guy is able to convert it to digital audio for modern TVs that don't have RCA outputs. Works great!

    Recently got Direct TV. I wanted to run the audio through my stereo system, which is all analog. The TV set box supplied only had a digital optical out for audio. This audio/digital converter is what allows the one to talk to the other. Simple to install and 100% effective.

    As I was in the process of buying my new Sony 4K TV, the salesman thoughtfully asked if I wanted to connect with an amplifier. When I told him I had a Bang & Olufsen, he suggested this converter. When the Geek Squad tech came to install the TV, he was pleased the equipment was ready to install. Although the sound quality of my TV is excellent, it's great to be able to have the sound coming through my active B&O speakers.

    I purchased a new TV that had optical audio out only and needed to connect my older Bose surround system. this works great. Easy to connect and works great with all TV systems/channels (OTA, Netflix, Amazon). Great buy, glad I came across it.

    We got a new tv and was trying to connect it to our old sound system. The optical input was not making a good connection to the sound box so we decided to try this converter out. It worked perfectly with our new tv. Now we can enjoy surround sound.

    Great product. Easy to use. Although I did return it. The reason I returned the product is because when I hooked up headphones i could not control the volume. I purchased another product, a wireless headphone.

    This unit is exactly what I was looking for! I have an older Yamaha receiver, and a new Sony smart tv, so I needed to convert from optical to analog in order to enjoy hearing streaming music and music videos. When you plug this unit in, it stays on all the time, so I used my switched outlet on my Yamaha so it turns off with the power.

    Only audio output on LG 65UJ, is optical. This allows me to go from digital optical to analog/RCA output, for Bluetooth headphones and other analog gadgets. Works great - excellent quality - excellent price. Fantastic BBUY stocks it. Thankx!

    Thanks to Best Buy and the guys at Geek Squad for bringing my old school Klipsch component stereo back to life and giving me the finest surround sound I've ever heard in a home. This little digital to analog converter turned my living room into a full blown movie theater, along with the ability to drown out my crummy neighbors and their little dog to! I had a regular old soundbar initially, but with the new 75" 4K t.v., it just didn't do it any justice. A bit like driving a Ferrari, but in a parking garage if you know what I mean. But now, I'm wide open on the autobahn with the top down and nothing but that sweet Italian chorus singing in my ears! Thank you thank you thank you!
