Dingsun Optical to RCA Converter, Digital to Analog Audio Converter with Volume Control DAC Converter Supports Sampling Rate Highest 192KHz/24bit Digital Audio Converter with Remote

I used the converter to connect an LG smart TV to a "vintage" Onkyo stereo receiver. Optical out from the TV into the converter. RCA out to the receiver. Set the sound on the TV to optical and done. The optical cable is included and the remote works just fine. It's easy to turn it off and on. I have the volume on max. I chose the black model and it's inconspicuous sitting on my black Onkyo receiver. The lights are soft enough to not be a distraction when viewing in the dark. The sound is great. No lag or sync issues with Blu-ray, Netflix, or Amazon. It's a practical and inexpensive solution to my problem.

For the money it can't be beat! Everything works "as advertised". Sound quality is excellent! The volume control was a "must have" for me, and it does work; however, the "precision" between volume "steps" is greater than 1db, so it's almost impossible to set the volume to a desired level; it is invariably too loud or not loud enough. This can be compensated with the amplifier to which it's connected, but that's a pain when the amp has all manual controls. (If your amp has a remote - mine does not; circa 1979 -, then this is a minor issue.) That said, it works well and provides a VERY cost-effective link to my vintage audio gear. Definitely worth the money!

Works great. I use optical for the input. I used 3.5mm to coaxial but didnt work for me it just made humming. Luckily most tvs have an optical out. And the only issue i have is that the Controller takes a few clicks sometimes to register inputs. It's as if the controller goes to sleep or something. But once it responds it's ok. And i hoped that there would be a more fine control over the volume. I like to have the knobs close to 80% volume as i like to have close to full control of the sound. But once i want to get to lower volumes it can all of a sudden get too quite or too loud with a few clicks, but it's tolerable. I just have to have the main volume contol at 50-60%. If there were a new version of this with those minor improvements i wouldnt mind getting this. This is still a great product by a great manufacturer especially for the price.

Very compact, easy to set up. The sound quality is excellent. The remote is compact and has only the necessary buttons. The output is not as strong as most remotes, however, the range is very good as long as the sensor is pointed directly at the remote (or visa versa). The reception angle is very narrow.All in all, a quality product for the price. Using the S/PDIF output from a TCL TV as input, and the output of this device plugged into a small amplifier and hooked up to a pair of Bose 301 Series II bookshelf speakers. Sounds great!

ok

Both our tv's have no analog sound output so I needed these optical/analog converters to get sound out to other devices, ie headphones, sound amplifier. They both worked fine in the beginning. Then first one, then both, started to crap out. Both had the same issue...the power connection at the box was bad. It would drop out on both at random. Eventually both completely stopped working unless I wiggled the power cord around and held it in place but as soon as I put the box back down it died. Inferior soldering or whatever, it is very cheaply made. Do not buy these!

Not much difference in volume control from lowest to highest setting. Remote needs to be pointed directly at unit and in range or it is useless. This was hooked to a mini receiver that had no remote. The volume was fixed on the receiver to allow remote to control for this unit to control overall output volume. Almost no difference from lowest level to highest level. This unit is not an amp (I knew that already and read only one review with my same complaint) and with almost no change in volume control it was useless for me to use it and I returned.

I wish there was a more expensive, higher quality version of this product but this one is all I could find. Because of the low cost, the remote is extremely cheap. The IR receiver is a little picky but it's not that big of a deal. You have to point the remote at the IR receiver. If pointing away by more than 30 degrees it probably won't register.All in all, the product works.One thing strange for me is that when I turn off my LG TV with the LG remote, the IR produced from my LG remote triggers the volume down on this DAC. They must use the same signal code or something. Not a huge deal but kinda weird.

Apenas lo he usado un par de ocasiones y ha funcionado muy bien, no encontré inconveniente con respecto al sonido, por supuesto tomando en cuenta su precio, por eso no me quejo que este hecho de plástico de baja calidad. Mientras la electrónica funcione correctamente voy a estar satisfecho.

This product is excellent! Does exactly what it says. I use it with a tv that's connected to an old marine stereo via rca plugs. The stereo doesn't have a remote. I connected the tv to the box with the included optical cable, and connected the stereo to the box with the rca plugs and everything worked perfectly immediately! I can now control the volume on the stereo while watching a movie! Love love love this product! There is no lag in the audio when watching a movie.A prior comment from someone else said that the volume moved in steps that were either too loud or too soft. I have not had this issue. It works great!

My use is to convert optical audiomoutnfrom my tv to my vintage 70s receiver (Pioneer SX-626 to be exact!) -- excellent all around and love added remote control functionality to my Pioneer.Only improvement would be to decrease the increments of volume between "clicks" (levels) as they're a bit imprecise, but not enough of a problem to undercut the price, quality, and durability of these units.Would recommend! (I have purchased 2 and they have lasted years already)

Works fine. The volume is in steps so it’s either too loud or too quiet.
