Reviews

1. T Tim 5/5

   Simple and worked right away

   Arrived as expected and functioned immediately. No surprises.

2. Y Yomanne 5/5

   Brought my older headphones back to life with new TV

   Replaced a TV that lost its 3.5mm output and this converter restored headphone capability. It behaves like a native analog jack: clean audio, no extra hiss, and the volume knob is handy. I attached it to the TV’s rear with double-sided tape and powered it from the TV’s USB port—works perfectly.

3. C cycle 5/5

   Arrived in good condition

   Product arrived intact and in very good condition.

4. C cheng 5/5

   Clear, high-fidelity conversion from digital sources

   Used this DAC to connect a CD transport via Toslink to my amplifier. The 192kHz converter delivered clean, high-fidelity output and worked perfectly with my rig.

5. A Adrian Hilton 4/5

   Well made but RCA output level could be higher

   Audio clarity is impressive for the price tier, but the RCA output doesn’t reach the advertised 3V in my system. The output level tops out around the halfway point of the knob, so I couldn’t get the gain I wanted for my HiFi aux input.

6. E EC 5/5

   Great for connecting headphones to modern TVs

   Well-built and compact, this converter lets me use my Audio-Technica cans with a 4K TV that only offers optical out. The included optical cable hooks up easily, the front knob adjusts level smoothly, and it has enough power to drive heavier headphones and external speakers.

7. M Mercury is Gaslighting Me 1/5

   Unreliable power-up and occasional crackling

   I chose the USB-powered model for convenience with my console, but it often fails to initialize unless I unplug and replug the power. With deep bass there’s sometimes crackling, and raising the unit’s volume can make it worse. Overall it caused more hassle than it solved for me.

8. A Amitabha Paul 5/5

   Cleaned up my music with minimal noise

   Hooked up via optical and my music sounded much clearer with almost no background noise. A very positive improvement.

9. J Justin S Leary 5/5

   Does what it says with minor interference in some setups

   Used this with a TV lacking a headphone jack; it provided clean headphone output and the volume knob is convenient since TV volume control may no longer work while connected. I detected faint interference in one placement, but it was barely noticeable during programs.

10. R Rob 5/5

    Solid construction and plenty of headphone drive

    The shell is formed metal with a neat textured finish and clear markings. I used the optical input to get a headphone feed from my TV; the adjustable output powered my heavy AKG K340 cans fine. The device runs from 5V USB and the package included the USB lead; I had to add a 3.5mm-to-1/4" adapter to fit my headphones.

    Useful for MacBook optical out — check compatibility first

    I connected this to an early 2015 13" MacBook Pro (mini Toslink) and routed audio to JBL studio monitors via the DAC. macOS reports S/PDIF Optical Digital Audio Output if your machine supports it; you will need a mini-Toslink to Toslink cable to link the laptop to this converter.

12. P P. Malone 5/5

    Exceeded expectations from a compact desktop DAC

    I’m not an audiophile but have owned quality equipment for decades. After downsizing to a desktop setup with near-field Kef speakers and a tube amp, I wanted a simple external DAC with Toslink input. This unit surprised me with its sound and reliability. Initially intended as a temporary bridge, it’s stayed in my chain because it sounds clear and is easy to use.

13. M Mammon 4/5

    Good idea, but had compatibility headaches elsewhere

    Bought a DAC to get headphone audio from a TV that lacks a jack. I tried another converter first and it wouldn’t work properly with that TV, which was frustrating. The review here is to remind buyers that results can vary by TV model and source configuration.
