5.0 out of 5 stars Audio Converter, September 7, 2007

By	Buddy - See all my reviews

Works well, simple and straight forward design. Be sure of your need (optical to coax) or (coas to optical). These converters work only on way-do not accidentally order the wrong converter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like it's supposed to, August 28, 2007

By	Amozarte "If everyone is thinking alike, then... (Saint Louis, MO - United States) - See all my reviews

I had the problem of too many TOSLINK outputs and not enough inputs. The good news for me was that I did have one spare Coax input. This converter easily made the switch and I'm enjoying my digital audio with no problems.

Please be aware that this is a powered unit- so plan to have a power brick (albeit a small one) plugged in somewhere near your desired install location. Also, the unit itself is about the length and width of a business card, and about as thick as a deck of cards. In other words, it's pretty small and can fit just about anywhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Constantly needs to be reset, November 26, 2006

By	R. Huizinga (Mercer Island, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Overall this item works as expected, but requires to be reset (i.e. cycle the power) once every 24-48 hours.

I will be replacing it with another model.
