Description of Whizzotech Coaxial Toslink Converter Sampling

You can plug your Digital Audio Coax in and get Toslink Digital Optical Out. This can transform a digital RCA Coaxial (S/PDIF) audio signal to a Digital Toslink Optical signal. This coaxial to optical converter will allow you to connect the coaxial digital audio output from your TV, DVD, cable or STB receiver to a Toslink digital optical input. This audio splitter works with all digital audio device such as HDTV, Blue-ray DVD player, HD cable box, Ps3, HD receivers, home theater systerm and all other HD devices. It is all plug and play. Simply plug the power supply, connect the optical toslink (Coax) cable between the optical (Coax) audio source/the end receving devices and the setup is all done. Digital audio cable included. This product will NOT convert ANALOG AUDIO (typically Left&Right-Red and White RCA audio to the Digital Audio Format).

looks like IN and OUT markers are swapped

Converter works as expected. The box labeling is confusing, looks like the IN and OUT labeling/printing is reversed. It looks like the device I received was returned (packaging appeared open, plastic wrap removed). But in the end the product works as expected. I use it with my TV to convert the digital signal (coaxial) to optical and then connect the optical output to a Bluetooth transmitter so I can watch TV with my Bluetooth headphones without disturbing others. All in all a good product…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Works great with no real problems.

Works as expected, no real problems and no configuration needed. Just plug everything in and off you go. The only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars is that there is a red LED on the power supply which annoys me as I don't want the red glow behind my TV so I had to cover it. It would also be great if they used either 5 or 12 volts instead of 9 volts so they could be USB powered and not require a wall wart at all, just turn the TV on and off via the USB port. This is an energy vampire…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Will write later

But works as described.

This item worked great with OTA TV sound. It converted the coaxial digital audio to the optical output my surround sound system needs. However, I found that audio coming in via the HDMI input (from my ROKU player) does not go through the digital coax output. Apparently, this is a feature of many TVs. I purchased this item to use surround sound with my ROKU for my old TV and surround sound system, but since it didn't play sound from ROKU (the TV's fault, not the converter) I decided to to return

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
