DSD TECH SH-AU01A USB to TOSLINK Coaxial Optical Audio Adapter

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.

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.

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.

When it works it's great, but this USB device will not stay connected to my PC, and will sometimes cause my USB controller to malfunction to the point no USB devices will work. I can't use this on this system, but keeping it incase it will work somewhere else.

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

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.

Works very well on my older mac, but NOT on my newer mac. The chip set is old, and thus supported on older machines, but newer OS's seem to have dropped this support.

形状はアルミ製の箱型でとても素晴らしいです。ただ選択しが3モードしかなく16ビット32000Hz(FMラジオの音質)、16ビット44100Hz(CDの音質)、16ビット48000Hz(DVDの音質)となります。しかしミニコンポやサウンドバーに繋ぐには十分で素晴らしい音質です。

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.

excellent produit - conforme à mon attente

Lo utilizo para que el viejo dac M2Tech Young pueda leer las versiones modernas de los Mac. Y este aparato lo hace con absoluta sencillez y calidad. Totalmente recomendado.
