Review on πŸ”Œ Digital Coaxial to Optical Converter: Bi-Directional Audio Converter Adapter by Sam Simone

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An outdated TV can still connect to my surround sound!

So I have a DLP TV that I don't want to get rid of because it's the only TV that plays my 3D content. In a nutshell. My TV only has a digital audio output. Well it's sux because I only have an optical input on my Sony surround sound system. This converter is coming! Thanks GAWD I found this thing! You won't believe how happy I was with this find. When I got it, of course I had to run straight upstairs and plug it in. I'm not just saying that for some reason I was downgraded to playing on a 1080p TV. (We've moved and my beautiful 65" Sony Bravia 4k TV had to shed its coat, there wasn't room for DLP in our beautiful new living room) BUT I was playing on DLP speakers, ugh! (Not that bad actually, but you know I'm spoiled.) So I plugged it in, I thought dude the optical one there is pretty tight! (Yeah, I was a total idiot and forgot to remove the protective sleeve from the optical cable. I figured it out one day and plugged everything in, VIOLA! I'm playing in gorgeous surround sound again, although still not upscaled to 4k. I only have ps4 and xbox one slim, neither of them support 4k natively (although the slim can output 4k movies. Who am I kidding? Those games still play on this TV. Love it and now I have surround sound! Plus I really love this TV as it is the only TV I have (non PS TV) that will play my 3D so if you need optical coax OR digital coax to optical (yes it works both ways! ), this is the way to go. Also supports digital coax to digital coax and optical to optical but if you have this setup then why buy it?

Pros
  • Plug and play, no software or disk required.
Cons
  • No instructions
