Review on Friencity Digital to Analog Audio Converter - SPDIF Optical/Toslink/Coaxial to RCA/Aux Adapter for PS4, Xbox, TV Box, DVD, Home Cinema & Bluetooth Transmitter by Robert Rick

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Coax input didn't work with my TV

My old TV's coax output didn't work with this DAC. I was listening with headphones and when I turned on the DAC I heard a higher frequency for about 2 seconds and then sustained low frequency distorted hiss. I suspect that the higher frequency was some sort of preamble and the lower frequency was the actual PCM stream. I tested it with a newer TV over an optical connection and that part worked. This older Sharp TV may not support the PCM/Toslink specifications used today. A quick note: the product case includes a full 5V power supply and cord. Power adapter not included, USB power cord only. You need to provide a 5V power supply.

Pros
  • signal converter
Cons
  • boring packaging
