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 converter works great BUT... make sure you set your audio settings on TV set properly! Can't even remember what they were but it didn't work until we changed the settings. Zoric, the store rep showed us what to do and told us to take pics of the screen at the store so we knew what to look for when we got home!

    Both my buddy and I thought either our TVs didn't have audio out or our head phones were obsolete. After reading reviews and this purchase of a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) both TVs and headphones work great. 1 is hooked up using a optical cable that was an extra purchase and the other using provided RCA cables.

    Worked to connect my optical output on my tv to my older Bose speakers. The only problem I have is that if I want to switch from tv sound to my speakers, I have to turn everything off and then turn everything on with the converter on or else I get a static sound.

    I had to buy this product to link my external speakers to the TV. It worked Perfectly for TV sound. However it did not link sound for items played through the TV, like my phone, tablet, or computer.

    This thing is worth the money if you don’t mind a rare (very rare) bug that makes nothing white noise I’ve had it for almost a full year now and it’s happened only twice and was fixed by simply turning it off and on again

    I came in looking for a solution to my problem. I had something in mind that I thought would work. After talking with the Best Buy assistant, he gave me a better long range alternative. Although the cost was considerably higher than what I really wanted to spend, it was the best way to fix the problem.

    Fantastic converter! I purchased a sound system for an old tv and was not able to receive sound from the TV to the sound system. This little converter did the trick! It worked in an instant with no trouble or stress. Genius!

    The TV we bought was low priced for what it had but only had an optical out for audio. Buying this was less expensive than finding a TV with multiple types of audio outs or buying a surround sound. My wife uses headphones to listen to TV

    My new 4K TV did not have any RCA plug type audio outputs for me to connect to the Bose Speaker system. Since the TV has a digital output, I purchased this converter and I am able to enjoy the Bose speakers once again

    Had a fuzzy dull sound and volume was a challenge to control. The options were nice. But I’m just goi g to stick with my audio engine DAC. Better quality than this box

    Bought this because my Panasonic TV Had only a single optical audio out but no analog audio out to connect my wireless headphones. Also my older receiver had no available audio out as well. You might combine this with an optical splitter if you want to maintain you digital audio to your receiver.
