Converts a Toslink optical digital audio input into a digital coaxial (RCA) S/PDIF output, allowing an optical audio source to feed devices that accept a coaxial digital input.
Common home and consumer A/V sources: cable and satellite receivers, DVD and Blu-ray players, CD recorders, digital HDTVs and monitors, radios and antennas, video game consoles, digital receivers, and soundbars.
Examples in the listings support 2-channel high-definition audio formats such as LPCM, DTS, and Dolby Digital, and they mention a 96 kHz sampling rate.
No. The listings indicate these devices handle digital signals only and do not convert Toslink optical output to analog mono RCA.
They typically use an optical Toslink jack for input and a coaxial RCA jack for the digital S/PDIF output.
Yes — they are described as plug-and-play. Connect the optical and coaxial cables, attach the power supply, and remove the dust cap from the optical end before use.
One listing specifies transmission up to 131 feet (40 meters) over optical cable, with a quoted loss of less than 0.2 dB/m.
Listings mention stabilized transmission, higher data transfer rates for improved performance, and some units include signal re-timing to maintain signal integrity.
