Product Description
The device provides three 1/8-inch analog stereo inputs that match the analog outputs on a surround-sound soundcard. Incoming audio is digitized and encoded in 5.1-channel surround sound using the DTS codec, and then output to your choice of optical or coaxial SPDIF. The box also features a digital pass-through: It accepts a digital stream at its coax input and routes the stream to its optical output-and vice versa.

Great dual purpose processor,

Home Theater Connect DTS-610
Yes, surprisingly this processor has a dual purpose, that is if you are a Quadraphonic "junkie" like myself. First, this allows one to connect their 5.1 audio connections to this. Then through its digital outputs, you connect this to a receiver/sound system for DTS surround sound. Now, you may ask why. It has come to my attention that many of the recent sound systems are geared toward HDMI and Optical/Coax inputs. If you have an older DVD player with the 5.1 connections, you can't hook it up to the newer system. This means you are forced to buy a new DVD player. Also, if you have an SACD option integrated into your DVD player, the SACD sound will not go through your HDMI or Optical/Coax connections. By using this, you can take full advantage of your audio system with both video and audio. OK you Quad junkies, you can use this to archive your record and tape collection onto DTS-CDs and preserve that great 4.0 surround sound. You simply connect your decoder into this unit then by using either an Optical or Coax wire, you connect this into the digital inputs of a stand alone CD recorder (haven't tried it on computer yet). The recorder burns the audio onto the CD-R (haven't tried CD-RW yet). Then, all you have to do is play the CD with the player connected to a receiver/sound system equipped with DTS. With DTS enabled, your system will decode the signal on the CD into DTS 4.0 audio and deliver such through your speakers. One thing, you should consider is a speaker upgrade since a traditional surround system has the bass delivered through a subwoofer. There will be no subwoofer signal, so one should consider purchasing or transferring your 4 full frequency music speakers to your home theater system to deliver the bass you will need and want. Absolutely, great purchase.

I try this guy over 6 months after I bought it, and it worked just fine!
The reason why I bought it was to convert my SB0460 sound card from the analog 6 channel to toslink to improve sound quality! And it worked just fine, I love it!
