Review on Monoprice Digital Optical Toslink Converter by Michael Moonin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good device, but check your standard for digital audio output

This device is designed to convert the digital audio output from, for example, your large flat screen TV to line level analogue audio. It can accept as input either an OPTICAL output over fiber optic cable or a COAXIAL output over a standard RCA phono cable from your audio source. The problem I had was that my TV's DIGITAL output was "Dolby" and it turned out that this device wants to use "PCM" encoded digital audio. The end result was that the device did not work with my TV. The device is fine, but I didn't realize that "NOT ALL DIGITAL AUDIO ARE CREATED IN THE SAME FORMAT".

Pros
  • Robust design
