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.

    I needed this to adapt my wireless headphones to my new smart TV and it did the trick! Easy set up and didn't distort the sound quality at all.

    Works amazing! So annoying how modern tvs don't support analog audio cables right out of the box... This product allows you to keep using sound bars or speakers (or any audio device) that uses analog inputs

    It's light-weight, doesn't take much room, and installs easily. A must have if you have digital tv and an analogue sound system. The results are a great sound and its quiet.

    A simple gizmo to link the optical out of a new generation smart TV to an old generation stereo system. There are some programs that really need a big stereo and this was the ticket. Super easy to install.

    I bought this because my Epson projector only has a digital coaxial audio out on it and my new speaker bar that I purchased had digital fiber audio in. It also does have the RCA left - right channels in on the speaker bar as well. So, I bought this with a quality RCA audio cable to my speaker bar and I get really good sound from it. I did use a wireless transmitter on this, but it would add on almost a 1 second delay on the sound so it was like watching really bad dubbed shows. So with the cable and this adapter together the sound works exactly as expected.

    We bought a new TV and my wireless headphones wouldn't work with the connecting system of the new TV so it was great when we went to Best Buy and found the device that enabled me to use my awesome wireless headphones again. The set up and installation to hook up the headphones was easy and quick. Be sure to click the switch when connecting the device to the headphones. Once we did that it was terrific. We are very happy and grateful for this device and appreciated the best buy customer rep that helped us solve the problem with compatibility with our new TV & headphones.

    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!

    Every old audio owner needs this device. Optical Digital to Analog is the only way we get to use our old serviceable amps. Mine is a 1969 "Solid State" Kenwood KA-6000. Yep. Old as dirt. Does the job. Until I got a dynamite TV with optical digital output ONLY. You need this. Cheaper than a new sound bar. And check it out: the old amp and my trusty rebuilt Advent loudspeakers are barking out new stuff. Awesome and fun too. Comes with all you need except the optical cable.

    Had to buy this converter in order to run a Senheiser TV Headset with my Samsung QLED Q60B TV set. It works fine but don’t expect an unbelievable sound quality with this combination. It just does a job and that’s all. It required a purchase an additional digital cable in order to connect it with my TV.

    This was the exact product I needed! I spent a few days trouble shooting how to send audio from my tv to my old receiver. I was in Best Buy four times this weekend. I spoke to several associates and all were very friendly and eager to help. Associate Kostas Soldatos was especially helpful in aiding my troubleshooting process. Very pleased with my experience.

    This little adaptor will take the Optical out on newer HD TV's and provide those audio buffs another option for amplifying the TV audio through a home stereo system. This Digital to Audio converter adapts the digital signal to RCA analog output. For those of us who have escaped the cable box and are receiving our TV over the airwaves or internet, this is the only option for getting the audio out of the TV as most HD TV's won't offer RCA outputs. This is a great product and it works!
