Model:SH-AU01A

It worked right out of the box. I'm taking audio out of a micro PC USB port and connecting to my receiver's optical-in port. Music is great. I'm not experiencing any extraneous noises or any transfer issues.

So far so good! Sound quality and stability are both great. No fuss, easy setup. Happy with this purchase. I previously tried one of the in-line converters and had a few problems, so decided to try this product instead. My configuration: The adapter is connected on one end via USB type-a to an external dock which is hooked up to a Windows 11 Dell XPS. On the other end of the adapter, I am pushing through an optical connection to a Samsung sound bar.

My new computer didn't have an SPDIF optical or coax out so I added this and it did the trick. This converter appears to your computer/device as a sound card. No drivers are needed for Windows. Simply plug it in and it works. You select the sound card (in Windows sound settings it's called "USB AUDIO CODEC") and sound from the PC or device is sent out the optical and coax outputs. If you want audio quality better than 16 bit at 48k (this converter's max) then you need to look elsewhere. Amazon does sell The Douk Audio U2 Pro SPDIF converter for $69 that can do 16 to 32 bit at 41 to 384 kHz which covers all premium streaming sources and high-end song formats. I didn't notice any audio difference between my old computer's built-in SP/DIF and this converter. I haven't tried it but you can use both the optical and coax outputs simultaneously.

I have been through a few converters...looking for USB to Optical for a soundbar from my computer. I have purchased several in trying to find the one that correctly, and this one does. Others will do Analog to Optical, but you lose sound quality and the volume does not work right, another one disconnects at times. I have not had this one long, so I can't comment on long term issues such a disconnect, but so far it is the best of all. In the computer sound settings on Linux/Ubuntu this gives me two options, analog and digital, with the analog having the same volume issues as my other one, but it works. However, this one gives me the proper digital setting as well, of which is the right setting these converters should provide, and it gives me the best sound, the volume and everything is normal and good. There are so many of these devices that simply don's work, and this one does, and works well and correctly giving the digital connection.

I bought a set of KEF LSX powered speakers a few years ago, not knowing that my options for connecting them were optical, Bluetooth, and wifi. I scrambled for a bit trying to find a sound card or USB audio device with optical out. I could only find expensive options. I discovered that my motherboard had optical out later, so all was well. Cue this year, I went with a smaller motherboard for my machine. My foresight and planning prowess came back to bite me though, and I found myself without an optical connection. This fit my need perfectly. I had been running the speakers using Bluetooth while I was waiting for this to come in, and the difference in quality was amazing. Setup is as follows: plug it into the computer, connect the optical cable, select "USB AUDIO CODEC" as your output, and you're done. No fuss. Build quality is great too. Feels overbuilt, quality connectors and hefty aluminum enclosure.

so this device does what is says it does, and that is take audio via USB-C and output as digital audio through toslink. I got this for my M4 Mac mini as a way of connecting to my KEF LSX speakers which have toslink input. Problem turns out is you WON'T be able to control the volume anymore with the Mac. There is another adapter that does the same thing (usb-c to toslink) that does allow you to control he volume through the Mac so might end up getting that. For now though going to just stick to using my Apple USB-C to 3.5mm line out dongle and connect it from the back. Side by side with the toslink audio I couldn't hear any difference anyway so returning this adapter.

I'm using this item in a recording studio for plain ol' reference monitoring (no high-bitrate stuff), and it does the job perfectly. I've not tried the coax output, we're running just the optical. Seems pretty solid and indestructible.

It works to spec. Low end chipset. Best to set source to 24/48 max and not feed it anything higher.

Da aktuelle Mainboards leider keine optische Schnittstelle mehr haben muss man leider auf so eine Lösung zurückgreifen. Hier gibt es viele Anbieter die einfach nicht mit Windows 11 kompatibel sind. Diese Lösung funktioniert ohne Probleme mit Windows 11. Einfach in eine USB-Schnittstelle einstecken und es geht sofort los. Wurde problemlos von Windows 11 erkannt und die optische Schnittstelle funktioniert sehr gut. Wichtiger Hinweis: ich benutze die Schnittstelle im Stereo Betrieb für meinen Soundbar und meine Kopfhörer.

The front of the device, beneath the brand name, is scratched up. Functionally, the device seems to work well, but it produces a very annoying, seemingly random crackling noise. This is not acceptable for most people who would purchase this device. Therefore, this device is faulty and useless. Do not purchase!

Działa bezbłędnie - zgodnie z przeznaczeniem USB-C -> Toslink. Dzięki urządzeniu dźwięk jest idealnie przekazywany z komputera na głośniki bez zakłóceń, bez trzeszczenia, bez przydźwięków (ale czego innego spodziewać się po cyfrowej transmisji po światłowodzie) - dla mojego niemelomańskiego ucha idealnie.

It does not sing or dance by itself, but it transmits audio perfectly which I am guessing is the reason one would purchase this kind of things in the first place. All I had to do to plug it in (tested with an Arch Linux box) and it promptly appeared as a new audio card. The sound quality is excellent. The adapter has a rather industrial look but is very small and so easy to hide. I appreciate that it provides both optical and coaxial output. The value for money is very good. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

excellent produit - conforme à mon attente
