Avantree DAC Digital to Analog Audio Converter with Toslink Optical Cable, Volume Control, 192KHz, SPDIF to Stereo L/R RCA 3.5mm Adapter for PS4 PS3 Xbox HD DVD Home Cinema Systems AV Amps Apple TV

I use it to transfer my tv sound to external speakers. Work perfectly. The sound quality is amazing too.

nach dem ich mir ein neuen fernseher gekauft habe, suchte ich ein verbindung, von optisch nach chinch (weiss und rot), um meine 5.1 sound anlage wieder zu betreiben. lautstärke regler ist okay, funktioniert auch bestens, aber das da auch ein aux input dabei ist, freut mich sehr. denn damit kann ich jetzt auch meine kleine aux elektronik projekte testen. das gerät wirkt insgesamt sehr edel. schönes- robustes gehäuse. ;-) nachtrag: sehr guter digital to analog audio konverter, aber.. ich nutzte diese gerät um mein altes 5.1 panasonic sound system, per cinch - an optisch audio (TOSLink) weiter nutzten zu können. die soundausgabe ist hervorragen. leider ist das erste gerät nach einem jahr laufzeit kaputt gegangen. woran es liegt, weiß ich nicht. wenn man den sound lauter stellt oder videos vorspult, gab es ab und so kleine aussetzter, mit dumpfen geräusche. somit musste ich ein zweit gerät kaufen. der preis ist aber völlig okay. vielleicht weiß ja jemand hier bei amazon, was das sein könnte? würde dieses gerät trotzallem wieder kaufen! danke an amazon für die schnelle lieferung! :-)

Nej den fungerade inte som den ska , från första dagen krånglade den. När jag vred upp ljudet fullt, vid 80% började det att bli oljud i mina stereohögtalare. Senare när jag vred till hälften då blev ljudet obalanserat. Ddtta exemplar fungerade inte som den skulle.

I needed a DAC (Digital to analogue converter) to run my TV into my stereo system that has no optical inputs. So: To use your TV into a stereo amplifier you need: A DAC, optical lead (Toslink) and a pair of phono to phono leads. If you want to input a Coax digital lead from your DVD / Blu Ray player you will need a lead for this. Previously I had used a cheap little black box device to do this, there's loads about priced around £10. I was never happy with the sound from the cheap box and decided to buy the Avantree DAC and bite the bullet of the £24 cost. I am very happy that I did. This 'improved' model is the one to get as there are plenty of reviews for the earlier version that show up some shortcommings. It arrived and I plugged it in straight out of the box. Connected the supplied USB power lead to a USB socket on my TV, connected the supplied optical lead in, connected the phono leads to my amp and a digital Coax from my Blu Ray. All the leads go into the Avantree and are clearly marked. The unit is very well made from metal and is small enough to tuck away, though you might want to keep it accessible as there are two switches you might want to use. One is a power on/off switch, though I just leave it on as the unit turns off when you turn off the TV and on when you turn on the TV. The other is to switch between the optical and coax inputs. There is also a headphone socket if your TV doesn't have one (Output only, you can't plug a phone etc into it.) Importantly there is a volume control which controls the headphone output and the RCA (Phono) output. I turned this up to full as it makes it easier to adjust the sound on my amplifier. My old unit did not have this feature and I had to turn the amp up a lot more to get a full sound. My ears can't tell if there are any faults with the sound. No bright laser like light either, just a discreet green light to let you know its on. Did I get the sound quality I wanted? A qualified yes to this, sound is very good and clear with no loss of quality. A recommended product and yes I bought this with my own money and I am not connected to Avantree in any way.

sound quality is remarkable, built quality is superb, everything looks premium,it made my 4.1 system another level.Thanks Avantree and Amazon
