Review on πŸ”Œ BobWire DAT1 with 12V Trigger: Supporting SONOS Connect, Echo Link, ChromeCast Audio, TV, Optical Audio Out Devices. Auto Power On for Amplifiers & Fans. Not Suitable for AV Receivers. by Nick Garrett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good box. I would like an internal power relay.

I have a couple of Sonos Connect devices and didn't like the fact that the amps had to run 24/7. Unfortunately, while this block solves the problem of not having a trigger output, I found that it only solved half of my problem since my amps don't have a trigger input. It wasn't entirely clear to me from the description. However, rather than return them, I bought some inexpensive 12V relays so the bobwire trigger output would activate the relay and turn on the amps. It worked great so I'm leaving them in even though the installation is such a hack. It would be nice if Bobwire (Bob) offered such product options. One of the devices didn't detect any sound, so it didn't work. The optical cable that came with it was bad but I had another one and after replacing it it worked fine.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
