Good budget option for feeding audio from your TV to a stereo receiver
$35+ elsewhere
Inputs: Coaxial, Optical
Outputs: RCA, 3.5mm line out
USB powered
Not really, this is a digital to analog converter.
if you HAVE to use optical for some reason…? pretty sure the coaxial already carries analog signal.
SPDIF can be output as coaxial as well as optical. Only difference is there's only one cable rather than a pair for stereo.
Not all TV/devices have analogue output
Also just to add, 3.5mm shuts off the tv speakers.almost always. Optical usually doesn't. Handy for those times when you want to use a speaker sometimes (like for movies) but don't want to have to pull out the cable every time your finished.
looks like a mini-usb port? which is super out dated?
It's a power port. 5v is 5v. You wanna pay extra for a nicer looking 5v, go for it.
No, it's mini USB, a cable most people won't have, because it's so outdated, therefore how old is this thing!, maybe it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter. I've recently bought the ADC equivalent of this and it comes with a short USB cable for powering it, so as long as the cable doesn't die I won't have to go digging in the depths of that box of cables that I'll get round to sorting any decade now.
@banana365: they give you the cable anyway
this thing is ancient… like 2015 but it does a simple thing and it does good and cheap so really who cares what cable it uses when they include it in the box
We all have the box of old cables.
Kidding right?
From where I'm sitting right now i can see 3 of these cables plugged into devices. Sure it's not as fancy as USB-C or even USB-micro but does the job and I'm confident once it's plugged in, you will forget about it for the next decade.
If it really bothers you… buy a unit and ship it to me and I'll swap it over to USB-C for you. PM for prices
Wouldn't any $2 audio 3.5mm cable do the job?
