Review on πŸ“Ÿ Remote-Controlled Digital to Analog Audio Converter - 192KHz/24bit, Coaxial Toslink to Analog L/R RCA & 3.5mm Audio - Includes Toslink and Coaxial Cables by Drew Poulin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally a cheap one that sounds good

Given my previous luck with a cheap DAC for my Smart TV, this one is good. Sounds surprisingly decent given the price, and the remote is a welcome replacement for alternatives I've bought in the past. It has a mute button for commercial nonsense, and the Toslink channel sounds better than its modest price. Toslink works pretty well with HDMI powering my soundbar. So I just turn the soundbar down to 0, turn on this little DAC and grab my headphones. It has good sound with good volume control. Now the HDMI cable can carry higher levels of audio, but I really don't need it. I have a 1k DAC for my individual musical needs and I personally don't get stuck on audio when watching TV. This little guy delivers goods. I hope to get away from that for a few years. And one last little note: the writing on top is at least small, unobtrusive, and gray. So rather understated than the all too often common vulgar and clunky look.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Short instructions
