PROZOR DAC Converter 192kHz Digital to Analog Audio Adapter | Optical Toslink & Coaxial Input to RCA L/R and 3.5mm Output, Supports PCM 24bit Audio for HDTV, DVD, PS3/4 with Optical Cable

I used this as an optical (digital) from an LG television to phono/RCA (analogue) to a Cambridge amplifier (which was on offer) to a couple of old but unused Tandy/Realistic speakers. My soundbar was too temperamental using HDMI/Bluetooth or Optical (the three outputs/inputs available between the LG television and LG Soundbar). Using the tv over broadband only (don't know if that's part of the issue). The problem was that whatever I tried couldn't get a clear sound (volume/clarity etc) between different app sources. The has solved the issue for me. I now have simple control over the sound. It is clearly to do with a very good amp and dare I say it a couple of very good speakers. That said, the Prozor DAC is playing its part as well. Audiophiles on Youtube and the like, speak in terms of DACs that cost in the hundreds. In fairness, they are talking about music over various interfaces to the Cambridge and then on via very expensive speaker wire to even more expensive speakers. Their systems are all at least £1K to £1.5K whereas mine for my purposes was about £350 all in (I had the speakers from a purchase in the late seventies). This unit works and costed very little so it has to get a five star review.

I wanted to run the optic sound connection into a rather old hi fi amp and speakers. I connected the tv to the unit and then to the rca inputs on the video channel of my kenwood amp. A little fiddling with sound settings on the tv and I have strong sound for movies. Easy cheap and functional. Five stars. Power extra 😂 but also cheap.

I need this to connect a TV to my stereo, and it does work, but the audio is a bit low. There's no way I can see to adjust it, but the output is much lower than my other equipment, so every now and again I'll forget when changing devices and get blasted by something louder. Build quality seems to be good and it's nice and small. It runs no problem from my TV's USB socket, and apart from the low sound, it's good.

It took a digital out and gave me analogue sound. Worked as it should. What more can one ask for.

Works as it should and was easy to connect up. Sound quality is excellent through a decent amp, just moved some speakers around to make it more surround and it was good to go. A basic surround sound set up was more than ten times the price so as far as I am concerned it is a total win. I was a little concerned because it needed a 10m cable to reach the amp, but it is all fine. The TV it is connected to had awful sound quality, buzzy and tinny, most of the time the volume had to be kept below 10% or the distortion made it unbearable. Now it can be cranked up until the windows are shaking and is still clear, we have spent the afternoon watching music videos and I am looking forward to watching some shows without having the subtitles on. If I am going to be picky, a little more wire on the connector and the power lead would have been handy, but overall for the price I can't fault it.

I needed this because I have a Samsung TV which has awful audio. I have a Bose home speaker which has Bluetooth, but there are lip-sync issues, so the only other supported option was to use the optical output from the TV, and use this converter box to go into the analog 'Aux In' connection on the Bose device. It works fine, but you'll have to set the TV to always output in 'PCM' mode, otherwise the audio will disappear when watching certain programs using a different encoding. The audio quality is pretty reasonable (you wouldn't expect top Hi-Fi from such an adapter, but it's certainly way better than listening through the built-in speaker inside most TVs). A slight issue is that the audio level is no longer adjustable from the TV remote control, but that's not a fault of the adapter. The adapter is well built, in a folded metal enclosure. The attached photo shows what is inside, for those curious about what integrated circuits are used. I liked that the device comes with an optical cable, and a power supply cable (USB Type A). Many TVs have a USB socket, so that can provide the power. Note that the product does not come with any analog audio cable. You'll have to purchase a phono (RCA) cable separately.

I purchased this DAC to link my new LG smart TV with my analogue hifi. I'm now passed caring why manufacturers no longer provide analogue audio outputs!!! Anyway, the unit seems well made and was easy to connect up although my heart sank as I connected the optical cable to the DAC as there was an insecure feeling from the socket then a loud click. But all seemed well, certainly no lag, not that there should be via an optical feed, and the audio quality for a TV was fine. The main issue, and so many people have said the same so I doubt that it is a mismatch, is the low level of audio output. It is certainly far short of line level and won't properly drive a pair of headphones. What is annoying is that it would be so simple to include an extra stage of amplification to sort out this problem. The cost would be minimal and you'd think the unit would sell in higher quantities as a result. However, for the current price it represents decent value.

Shoddy build quality results in constant connection problems to one audio channel. When it works, it’s great, accurately converting digital optical (TOSLink) in to RCA out, but the RH RCA channel is so flakey that it rarely does. The slightest disturbance - someone walking past it or sitting down on a nearby sofa (which it was tucked down behind until it really started playing up) or gently putting it down after apparently fixing it, or maybe looking at it too sharply - and the speaker cuts. Not sure whether this is better or worse than the appalling intermittent 60Hz hum that preceded it pretty much from new. Worse, I suppose, because it’s now unusable whereas it did have fairly long periods of working properly, provided the cat didn’t get the zoomies behind the sofa. But it’s always been unstable.

Den DA-Wandler von Prozor fand ich wegen des Preises sehr interessant, daher habe ich ihm nach etwas Bedenkzeit eine Chance gegeben. Ich bin absolut zufrieden mit dem Produkt und führe nun weiter aus: Der Wandler kommt in einer bedruckten Umverpackung und durch Inlay gesichert an. Im Lieferumfang ist die Einheit selbst, sowie auch ein Anschlusskabel von "Barrell" zu USB für die Stromversorgung (hier ist kein Steckdosenadapter inbegriffen, jedoch dürfte den beinahe jeder irgendwo herumliegen haben). Was ich beim Kauf nicht beachtet hatte, freute mich bei Erhalt umso mehr: Es wird ein kurzes Toslinkkabel mitgeliefert, sodass hier ein etwaiger Zukauf entfällt. Eine Anleitung brauchte ich bei einem nicht-einstellbaren Gerät nicht zu wälzen, jedoch liegt dennoch hier eine bei, welche auf etwaige Anwendungsprobleme Bezug nimmt. Mein Anwendungsgebiet für den Adapter ist vielleicht etwas atypisch: Ich habe eine Playstation 2, welche über eine Toslinkschnittstelle für digitales Audio verfügt. Da der Röhrenfernseher, an welchem ich die Konsole betreibe a) Mono läuft und b) es beim Abgriff des Audios via Kabel hier zuviel Störeinstreuungen gibt, wollte ich den Ton direkt durch die Konsole abnehmen und einem kleinen günstigen Hifi-Setup zuführen. - Der Anschluss des Prozor DACs war natürlich leicht (Verbindung mit dem Lightpipe-Kabel herstellen, im Konsolenmenu den digitalen Audioausgang aktivieren und den DAC mit Strom versorgen). Der DAC funktionierte direkt wunderbar, sowohl funktionsseitig als auch im Hinblick auf die Stabilität von Gehäuse und Anschlüssen. Störsignale konnte ich weder beim Anschluss für die Kopfhörer, noch bei der Lineverbindung via Cinch-Kabeln feststellen, sodass ich "kristallklares Audio" in meiner aufgesetzten Audiokette erhielt (PS2 > DAC > Miniverstärker > Vintage-Lautsprecher). Den Koaxial-Eingang wiederum konnte ich hier nicht testen, da ich weder Kabel noch Geräte mich ebendiesen Anschlüssen habe. - Ob der Sound absolut perfekt gewandelt wird, kann ich ohne teures Richt- und Messequipment fairerweise nicht sagen. Somit ist dieser DAC für den schmalen Geldbeutel wirklich eine sehr gute Investition gewesen. Was ich dennoch für interessierte Käufer anmerken kann: 1) Der Kopfhöreranschluss im DAC verfügt nicht über eine eigene Lautstärkeregelung, wer also Kopfhörer anschließt, sollte hier entweder via separaten Kopfhörerverstärker eine Verbindung herstellen oder hat einen Kopfhörer mit integrierten, regelbaren Verstärker. Alternativ ließe sich ein passiver Inline-Adapter für Stereokopfhörer zwischenschalten, jedoch sind diese erfahrungsgemäß billig verarbeitet und das Matching der Kanäle suboptimal. 2) Der DAC an sich hat keinen eigenen Einschaltknopf: Wenn er Strom erhält, ist er auch eingeschaltet. Ich finde das nicht wirklich relevant, jedoch gibt es sicher auch Anwender, welche diese Funktion vermissen würden. Mein Endfazit also, sollte es zuvor nicht erkennbar geworden sein: Ich bin total zufrieden mit dem Gerät, da es unkompliziert tut, was ich erwarte. Ich habe bei diesem Preis nicht mit der sehr sauberen, stabilen Verarbeitung gerechnet, sodass das für mich als Pluspunkt gilt.

je viens d'acheter un écran plat sony 1100€, au déballage je cherche la prise casque jack 3.5, rien, le vendeur c'est bien gardé de me le dire, j’écoute la tv avec casque audio sans fils sennheiser,là impossible, je cherche une solution, car sur la tv il n'y a qu'une sortie audio fibre optique, je trouve ce produit, l'installation est facile, très facile, le son est bon dans les casques, il n'y a pas de coupure son tv comme avec jack 3.5, on peut baisser son tv très bas et avoir du son fort dans les écouteurs, donc top pour mon utilisation.je peux écouter la tv avec casque sans gener les autres.

I needed to connect a new smart TV to an older sound system that uses RCA connections for input. This was exactly the thing I needed. Its small size makes it easy to hide behind the TV, and the power and optical digital output cables are of sufficient length to connect to the back of the TV and to a power source. In my case, I used an old @pple 5V 1A power supply that plugs into a standard 120V outlet. The optical cable fit the TV output jack perfectly. For an older sound system having just two channels (left and right), it is important to follow the manufacturer's guidance and set the digital audio output on the TV to PCM, otherwise there will no sound from the old sound system. Other than that, it was plug and play. The sound quality output of the sound system was very good, and there were no volume issues (e.g., impedance mismatch). Great value for the price.

I am not sure how this item got any good reviews. I cant find any info about prozor as a manufacturer It looks like an oem of some sort and it is made in china. I wasted time returning this

It works as expected. They mention PCM but there might be other features in your sound settings that you need to tweak. Don't lose faith.
