Neoteck DAC 192kHz Digital to Analog Audio Converter 3 Optical SPDIF Toslink + 1 Coaxial to Analog Stereo L/R RCA 3.5mm Audio Adapter with IR Remote Control Support Volume Control Power ON/OFF

Bought mainly for connecting TV sound to HiFi. I was using an old high quality Marantz cd recorder for this purpose, but I was pleasantly surprised that this DAC sounds just as good. The volume control has only a small number of steps, but not a problem for me as I don't use it. I was considering some much more expensive solutions, but bought this just to try as it was low cost. It even has multiple inputs and a remote control. I think that this is great value for money. There was no mains adapter included; I power mine from a USB port on the back of my Sky box. I've added some rubber feet to keep it in position on my amplifier, and some dimming stickers over the very bright LEDs.

Good value to connect to an old fashioned hi-fi system but the volume control is not linear and the steps in between can be excessive. Pretty good otherwise.

Very easy to set up. Feels like a solid build. Other customers seem to find cheaper converters have more problems with performance and reliability, after I spent a lifetime reading zillions of reviews. I am using this to convert toslink from back of TV to a pair of Sennheiser cordless headphones. The headphones have their own battery powered volume control so no problem with insufficient volume level. (haven't even moved volume knob on the converter). The sound quality is a little bit better than using the 3.5 mm jack socket on the side of the TV. Had to do this conversion due to replacing very large Sony Amplifier with a pair of Edifier active speakers which sound excellent. Trouble is no headphones jack on back of speaker, hence the workaround but all good now.

The headphone output volume is not great if you are hard of hearing.

A cheap way of connecting a sky box to an analogue hifi.

Pros : Small, good sound, like that it has upto 4 optical inputs.Cons :Volume from 1 to 2 has a big big jump, would love if the volume level wss a bit more linear.The green LEDs on the unit are very bright, so I've stuck black tape on the lights (best option as you cant hide the the unit, otherwise the remote doesnt work)

Excellent audio using this with a 90s amp NAD 3240pe with no optical input. Can't discern any noise at least to my ears. 5 stars bang for buck.

Works OK considering the price. Unit quite light weight. LEDs not very bright
