Exactly what I needed.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

As many others have mentioned, this is a DIGITAL converter. It does NOT convert a digital, optical signal to analog. It converts a digital optical signal to a digital signal for an RCA S/PDIF input jack.

This is precisely what I wanted.

I have a very large house, with ceiling speakers throughout the house. I have separated the system into different "zones", each with it's own receiver, but I wanted to use this to link one system to the other, so I could play the same music throughout the entire house, when I choose. In order to do this, I needed this unit to convert the optical output, from the back of one receiver, to an RCA digital input in the back of a receiver via an approximately 100-foot cable that I had made by soldering male RCA jacks to each end of Cat5 networking cable. I was concerned that the unit may not have enough output power to get a strong enough signal at the other end of such a long cable, but it works perfectly. Now I can play music in the more formal rooms and play different music in the other rooms, OR have the same music throughout the house, yet maintain separate volume controls for the different zones.

This replaces an old "network" streaming system that did not work as well and suffered from had buffer delays.

Bottom line: This is exactly what I wanted and works exactly as I had hoped.

Great device to convert Digital Sound from Optical to Coaxial. Power adapter could use an update.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2016

Have an old Xbox 360 with Optical out, but my receive only had an open Coaxial in.

So this worked perfectly for that need --> Convert Toslink Optical to Coaxial.

I get perfect Dolby Digital 5.1 through it.

I have one complaint ...the power adapter. It is oriented for the bottom plug on a wall outlet look at the picture), not power strips (which I have to use behind entertainment systems). I wish they would have used a sideways narrow power adapter that would allow it to be plugged into any slot in a power strip (not just the valuable end one). Also, the power adapter male end does not fully plug into the converter, leaves a few mms (1/8") showing.

Got a dud.

No output. Tested with multiple cables and multiple inputs and outputs. No way to tell if the unit or power supply is the culprit. My bet is the latter. Sounds like 10–20% of these things just don't work.

Good if you have low powered speakers. Otherwise consider an DAC option or straight analog in

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2016

It works, but is very sensitive to line surges. This drove me mad to no end because every time I would flip a light switch, my AC would kick in, or I would turn on a fan, my speakers would pop and/or drop in power. Sounds like a line voltage issue instead of an input signal issue right?

So I bought a UPS for my system thinking FOR SURE THIS WILL WORK. Nope. The converter, the studio source, AND my active speakers were tied into the UPS, and still my speakers would pop and drop when I turned on a fan and etc...

One day I decided to unplug the input signal and try popping my speakers with no input. First thing I noticed was that the noise floor for the converter was high because as I unplugged, the silence from white noise was very noticeable. Curious. I proceeded to flip switches around the apartment, and surprise, no pops!

I ordered some 1/8 to 1/4 mono cables to plug into my speakers instead, and tada! Pops and drops gone!

I suspect this converter would've worked well with some lower powered speakers, but for my system, the tolerances weren't to par. At the end of the day, it worked, but not well with my system.

Works, but kind of sketchy.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2011

When it works, this box is great. It does what it advertises and hooks my fancy schmancy new tv up to my aging surround sound system. I really can't expect much more from it. The only thing I can say is don't buy this if you have cats. I know that's a weird thing to say, but the optical input on this box is crazy sensitive and the TOSLink cable needs to be plugged in a certain way. The slightest nudge cuts out all your sound. My cats love to dance around behind my TV on the instances when we are really focused on it, so this means that on occasion the sound will cut out during really dramatic parts of movies and leave everyone angry, at which point they ransack my house and flip my car. Other than those minor issues, this box is great!

Works great...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

My receiver only has one optical and one coax digital inputs and I needed to run my PS4 Pro's optical to the receiver now that I have a 4K TV. Since my receiver cannot pass HDR, I had to run the HDMI directly to the TV and use the optical out on the PS4 Pro for sound to the receiver. Howver, I was already using the receiver's optical port for my TV's output, since I chose not to use ARC because HDCP CEC is really flakey with my receiver.

So enter this device. I simply plugged in the PS4 Pro's optical into one end and a coax cable into the other and and plugged that into my receiver and I had DD5.1 sound from the PS4 Pro.

The construction could be better as it is made of cheap plastic from China, but it does the job.

Misleading description

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

The product was ordered to convert a Toslink fiber-optic output from an HDTV to analog RCA connections at my theater system. The device ordered converted from Toslink to COAXIAL-only 5.1 (single RCA only), which is not an optional input on my receiver, either.

The delivery from the source was well within the time-frame specified at purchase, and I would've rated the product five stars had it been useable in my application. The company was prompt in issuing an RMA number and issuing a refund.

Problem Solved

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

We switched from Comcast to U-verse last week and I was immediately presented with a problem. The (old) Comcast cable box had both optical and coaxial outputs for digital audio. I was using the coaxial output connected to my Bose Lifestyle home theater system. The single optical input on the Bose box was already dedicated to my Blu-Ray DVD player and the (new) U-verse box is equipped with one optical output for digital audio (no coaxial output).

What to do?

The Optical Toslink to Coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio Converter was just what I needed.
It took all of 5 minutes to install and half of that time was moving the furniture to get at the cable connections behind the home theater cabinet and unpacking the box that the device was mailed in.

Review summary: Works as advertised!

Solo se conectó y funciono ok, no requiere mas. Al ser de una conversion de digital a digital no se debe tener variaciones con la calidad del audio y asi lo percibo, sin ruido todo perfecto. No se si genere algun retraso en la señal , ya que para mi es imperceptible. Buen articulo

Dejó de funcionar

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on October 31, 2019

Actualización: dejó de funcionar, el adaptador literal se partió en dos, nunca había visto un plástico de tan mala calidad... Probé con otros adaptador, no enciende.

Funciona perfecto para conectar una tele reciente con salida toslink a un viejo receptor Onkyo con entradas coaxiales, cuya entrada toslink minijack corta el sonido. Recuerda que necesitas un cable toslink a toslink y un cable de audio coaxial. Al menos se escucha mucho menos el zumbido que tenía con un cable minijack a RCA.
