Audio Digital to Analog Converter DAC with 3.5mm Jack, Optical SPDIF Toslink Coaxial to Analog Stereo L/R Converter with Optical Cable and Power Adapter for PS3 PS4 Xbox

I can't vouch for whether this device would support full-spectrum hi-fi sound from the originating optical output, but it works great for me. The analog audio output from my upstairs Joey is distorted for some unknown reason, so the audio quality from the small speakers in my hobby room TV is really poor. I'm using a converter to send the Joey's analog A/V output via cable to provide a modulated signal to my TV, but since it works awesome when it's interfaced with the Dish receiver's analog output downstairs, I don't believe there's any issue with the converter. My hobby room TV is an older LG unit, but since it has an optical audio output that I'd previously used with a Yamaha soundbar, I decided that perhaps I'd be able to get some minor perceivable increase in audio quality if I could use the hobby room's Yamaha receiver in concert with its Polk Audio speakers to provide the audio versus those "tinny" TV speakers. This D/A converter allowed me to easily do this, and while the distortion is still resident, the marked audio quality increase allows me to now readily discern what's being presented on the news shows that I like to watch in the morning.

This Toslink DAC offers excellent sound quality and functionality. While I initially faced challenges controlling the volume directly from various sources, I found a solution by connecting its analog outputs to an SSL 2+ interface. This setup allows for precise volume control and the option to add a subwoofer. Paired with Yamaha HS8 speakers, it complements a 4K TV perfectly. If you're looking for a simple, compact 2.0 or 2.1 audio solution for a TV with only Toslink output, this product is an excellent choice.

today's consoles use the digital output format if you want to direct connect your console to a sound system. I'm running both my consoles (Xbox One) to a high def monitor with no sound option so I direct connect my console to a Bose speaker for sound. My speaker doesn't have a digital input only 3.5mm input, so I bought this to be able to connect directly to the speaker. works out great. good sound quality still and I'm thinking of changing my PS4 configuration to this format so I'll probably buy another one.

I took a chance buying this adapter to get rid of the (INFURIATING) lag on Rocksmith 2014 edition for the PS4, and it works wonderfully! Finally! The one small gripe I would say that I have is that the audio is softer when adapting to composite red and whites. But... that might be a cord issue and not an issue with this adaptor, so I'm not going to judge against the item for that... In any case, the sound is clean with no buzz or hum. I am just SO happy to be able to use Rocksmith 2014 on the PS4 the way it's meant to be! Now, in an effort to help you troubleshoot, I will tell you how I have everything connected, so you can hopefully get Rocksmith 2014 going with no lag. My PS4 is connected via HDMI to a 4k Sony tv. Rocksmith 2014 and all DLC is installed on a 4TB non-powered external HDD, not internal ps4 memory. PS4 audio in the settings menu is set to digital optical and linear PCM instead of HDMI so the sound is being collected from the right source. Optical cable is connected to the ps4, plugged into this adaptor we are reviewing here, and red and white composites are hooked up from the adaptor out, to the back of a pioneer surround receiver on its own exclusive unshared assigned channel thats not already being occupied by an HDMI cable. (I use "CD in"). I hope this has helped someone. Happy Jamming!

Review of - Easycel Audio Digital to Analog Converter DAC with 3.5mm Jack, Optical SPDIF Toslink Coaxial to Analog Stereo L/ R Converter Adapter with Optical Cable and Power Adapter for PS3 PS4 XBox DVD Roku --- YAY! This works. This product comes with everything needed to connect the TOSlink digital audio output on a new HDTV to the stereo audio inputs on your older analog, stereo Audio Receiver system. - This product includes the TOSlink cable you need to plug into your HDTV. This product also includes the AC to 5V DC power transformer needed as well. - Note, I chose this vendor - Easycel - over the other, otherwise, identical units being sold on amazon, because this one comes with the AC/DC transformer for power, and the needed TOSlink cable, which the sellers of some similar units on amazon don't seem to be including with their package. - The installation of this converter box takes just a couple minutes. First turn off your HDTV and your Audio Receiver. Then, plug the TOSlink cable (fiber optic) into the HDTV digital audio output. Then then plug the cable's other end into the TOSlink digital jack on the converter box. Next, plug the analog RCA stereo cable you were using previously to connect to your Audio Receiver's stereo analog input, into the RCA jacks on the other side of the converter box. Then plug the 5V DC power transformer into a 120V socket and the other end into the converter. Lastly, turn on your Audio Receiver and your HDTV. On the HDTV settings, select digital audio output, with PCM encoding. Voila, you now have stereo audio from the HDTV into and out of your analog stereo Audio Receiver. - Keep in mind that this converter box WILL NOT provide all the 5.1 or 7.1 digital audio channels from the HDTV as analog audio channels. This converters steps down and composites the audio to just two stereo analog audio channels. - For a little over ten bucks, this 2 inch by 2 inch little box, makes it possible to keep using an existing analog stereo Audio Receiver for sound from an HDTV. There are those of us who enjoy the creamy sound from our vintage (and now quite pricey) collector's item McIntosh Stereo Audio Receivers and Klipsch horn speakers (check out the draw dropping prices of those these days on amazon, which decades ago were affordable, but now require a millionaire's budget). - Ironically, the HDTV companies could have kept an analog stereo audio output pair on their HDTVs for a buck or two, but it seems that for some reason they are all needlessly skimping on the dollar or two that would cost them. Maybe they are in league with the Audio Receiver companies to force us to buy more gear. Thankfully, however, these inexpensive converter boxes save the day. - Although the converter box comes with a small instruction pamphlet, the unit is so obvious, and so easy to connect, that instructions are not required. - Enjoy!
