Customer Review: A Very Nice and Inexpensive Optical-to-Coaxial Audio Converter
Summary: 5 Stars
This little Cables to Go 40019 Optical to Coaxial Digital Audio Converter does everything it's supposed to do and it does it perfectly.
I have an unusual situation: my Yamaha RX-Z9 audio/video receiver is placed on the top shelf of a custom-built component stand. It has to be there because it requires clearance of 12 inches on top and 8 inches on each side and the back. This is for proper heat dissipation. It gets HOT! (Do you think anyone mentioned this at the dealer's or in ANY review - and there were lots of them - of this item before I bought it? Yeah, right!)
As I have about thirty gazillion wires back there and, to access them, I have to climb on a ladder and physically turn this (66 pound) receiver 90 degrees or so, any TOSlink (optical) cables I use tend to fall out when I turn the unit back to face the front. This is because the optical cables do not have a robust connection. Digital coaxial cables, with their RCA-type plugs, DO make a good solid connection to a receiver.
This little converter comes to the rescue!
I bought an ePVision PHD-205LE HDTV Tuner ATSC / QAM (HD) / NTSC (Pass-through Only) Tuner Receiver Box which has only an optical output for digital sound. Having now attached a short optical cable to this converter and a digital coaxial cable from the converter to my receiver, I can tell you that the (Dolby surround) sound is exactly the same as when I had the optical cable directly attached to the receiver (and before it fell out EVERY TIME when I turned the receiver back!).
It comes with its own AC adapter and it takes up very little room. Placement in non-critical. As some others have written you MUST make certain that you buy the correct converter for your needs. In my case I needed to put an optical cable INTO the converter unit and run a digital coaxial cable OUT from it to my receiver. This company also makes a converter which does the reverse, digital coaxial cable IN and optical cable OUT for those who require that.
At its price, it can't be beat and I recommend it highly.
