Review on πŸ”Š Toslink Extractor Splitter: BolAAzuL Converter for Enhanced Audio Quality by Tony Trotter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does exactly what it's supposed to do

I recently discovered that the Toslink input for my parents' 11 year old ZVOX soundbar only let through 1/2 stereo after hearing the other person's voice in a Program I couldn't hear was watching at a party. ZVOX has RCA L and R inputs as another option, but an 11-year-old plasma TV only has a Toslink output, and a 2019 Roku Ultra with a wired ethernet connection is used for streaming but no "audio" Output" options so the only fix was this audio extractor which includes RCA outputs. I installed another of these extractors in her living room to extract audio to both the TV and stereo for streaming music from another Roku through a stereo receiver with RCA inputs. so tested before if it would solve the problem with the ZVOX soundbar and it worked great. Both channels ran through the same program, initially noticing that only 1/2 of the dialogue could be heard. Now the difference in sound is huge when transmitting stereo or 5.1 signals. The picture quality hasn't changed on her 11 year old Panasonic 50 inch 600Hz plasma TV.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of fashion
