Customer Review: Works as suggested
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have more than one component that requires Optical Audio into your receiver but the receiver only has one Optical input this is the way to go. This will allow you to connect up to three components using Optical Audio. I bought this device to connect my PS3 and my HD Cable box using Optical Audio cables to my Onkyo Receiver. Neither device has any other digital audio output. It does exactly what I need it to do.
Pros:
+ This unit is better than other audio splitters because it has an actual switch. Other devices without the switch require you to turn off all of the components you're not using in order for the switch to work properly.
+ I don't have an expert or trained ear so I do not hear any sound degradation happening through this device.
Cons:
- It is larger than it looks. About the size of a salad plate. I have mine tucked away so it's difficult to see anyway but if space in your entertainment center is a problem you may have to move some things around a bit. Obviously the switch needs to be somewhat accessible.
- The optical cables from your components stick out the front of the unit while the cable that goes to the Optical In on your receiver is near the back on the side. I'm the type that doesn't like to see cords sticking out everywhere but I was able to get mine tucked way back in my EC yet still accessible.
Overall, a couple negatives but not anything that would cause me to scrap this device just to spend a lot more money to upgrade my stereo receiver. This device will save a ton of money and frustration.
