Question 1

My panasonic tv specifies it has pcm/dolby digital output, but cannot be set to pcm only.  will this adapter work with my tv?

Accepted Answer

Most DAC converters in the market only support LPCM/ PCM format, not compatible with 5.1 Channel Signal Such as Dolby AC-3/DTS. You have to set your smart TV to PCM format output each time.

If you need a DAC that doesn't require TV to be set to PCM audio, I would recommend this one.

It supports DTS/ Dolby AC3/ LPCM/ PCM/ RAW, Can Decode Dolby/DTS 5.1CH Digital Audio into 2.0CH Analog Audio Output without Setting Audio Output Format. No need to set to PCM like other DAC, so convenient.

Question 2

Does this replace the Priva II or work with it

Accepted Answer

The DAC will convert Digital to Analog via Optical Audio Toslink Cable from your device to the DAC. And the DAC to your Priva II via RCA or 3.5mm cables. And the Priva II will Wifi to your headset or other wifi devices.

Question 3

I have lg tv, ( older model)   how do  i check  it's pcm or lpcm ?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings / Sound / Sound Out / Choose External Speaker ( with this option it may show you an option to choose output format Auto or PCM. Depending on your model, the options will be different but it should have PCM listed with other formats. I have a LG 2014 model and it does have it. I hope you this is helpful.
