Title: Well made, well featured and good quality.
Review: I needed a DAC (Digital to analogue converter) to run my TV into my stereo system that has no optical inputs. So: To use your TV into a stereo amplifier you need: A DAC, optical lead (Toslink) and a pair of phono to phono leads. If you want to input a Coax digital lead from your DVD / Blu Ray player you will need a lead for this.Previously I had used a cheap little black box device to do this, there’s loads about priced around Â£10.I was never happy with the sound from the cheap box and decided to buy the Avantree DAC and bite the bullet of the Â£24 cost. I am very happy that I did. This ‘improved’ model is the one to get as there are plenty of reviews for the earlier version that show up some shortcommings.It arrived and I plugged it in straight out of the box. Connected the supplied USB power lead to a USB socket on my TV, connected the supplied optical lead in, connected the phono leads to my amp and a digital Coax from my Blu Ray. All the leads go into the Avantree and are clearly marked.The unit is very well made from metal and is small enough to tuck away, though you might want to keep it accessible as there are two switches you might want to use. One is a power on/off switch, though I just leave it on as the unit turns off when you turn off the TV and on when you turn on the TV. The other is to switch between the optical and coax inputs.There is also a headphone socket if your TV doesn’t have one (Output only, you can’t plug a phone etc into it.) Importantly there is a volume control which controls the headphone output and the RCA (Phono) output. I turned this up to full as it makes it easier to adjust the sound on my amplifier. My old unit did not have this feature and I had to turn the amp up a lot more to get a full sound. My ears can’t tell if there are any faults with the sound.No bright laser like light either, just a discreet green light to let you know its on.Did I get the sound quality I wanted? A qualified yes to this, sound is very good and clear with no loss of quality. A recommended product and yes I bought this with my own money and I am not connected to Avantree in any way.

Title: A relatively low priced DAC that works in a high quality system.
Review: Given the low price of this DAC relative to the cost of DAC’s in the world of HIFI, I have been impressed by the sound quality. I have used the DAC to connect to my TV with the sound output going into my preamp/hifi and through to my speakers. It is connected to a high quality system and this small and stylishly designed DAC is performing well. I only have one minor criticism to make, and that is that I have had to turn the volume control knob on the DAC to maximum to get a decent volume through my speakers, and in order to get a loud sound when desired, I have to turn my preamp up to around 80 – 85% of full volume but this is nonetheless perfectly adequate. It should be taken into account in this review that I did not use the accompanying optical cable with the DAC but instead opted to use a QED optical cable to connect the DAC to my TV.

Title: Functional, good quality audio with no discernible delay
Review: Buying simply DACs on Amazon is a lottery. This was my third attempt to find a simple, cheap DAC for a particular application. This one served that purpose admirably – good quality output, nice range of output levels and no noticeable delay added to the audio chain. The build quality could be better (the green digital input switch is a bit naff) but it’s been working perfectly for a few weeks now and I’m happy with it.

Title: Does exactly what the sales blurb says it will
Review: I wanted this to connect to a TV that has an optical digital audio out but no 3.5mm jack socket for a set of headphones. This works fine. Some of the Digital Audio Converters (DAC) do not have volume control so this unit with the volume control is everything i wanted in one small box. I comes complete with an optical lead and instructions. Though the unit is so simple it does not require them. I’m not an audio nut but the quality to my ears is great. I listen to the sound from my smart tv and love it.

Title: Decent but limited
Review: Works ok on firestick apps except for prime video because it doesnt support dolby( just annoying white noise), only pulse code modulation. Very slight delay from tv to external speakers.

Title: A well designed digital to analogue converter
Review: This was bought to replace a more expensive Lindy DAC, which after 4 years had started to produce crackling on the output from its co-ax connection.I am not an audiophile, but for me, this Avantree DAC provides good sound quality from both the optical & co-ax outputs, to my ancient Arcam amp.Unlike my Lindy DAC, there is no USB input on the Avantree DAC, so you can’t connect a laptop as the sound source using a USB port, but I didn’t use this once on the Lindy.The Avantree DAC is compact & feels solidly built. It is well designed, with all cable connectors at the rear. On the Lindy, the inputs were in the back of the device & the outputs at the front, which looked messy. A nice touch on the Avantree is the on/off switch, which I guess would prolong the life of the unit, if used to switch it off when not in use.Another nice touch is that the Avantree comes with an optical cable in the box. I haven’t used mine, as I already had an optical cable in situ.The only minor downside with the Avantree is that the volume control knob sets the overall volume. On the Lindy DAC, the volume knob controlled just the headphone output, which makes more sense to me.

Title: Great pice of kit
Review: Heat pice of kit I can now upgrade to sky QHeld off upgrading my sky boxes as the small sky Q boxes only have optical outs, this little box has solved this. Easy to install especially as powered by usb (one on the back of sky box). Only downside is I have to turn volume on my sound system slightly higher than before and when I turned up loud the sound quality diminished but all in all solved my problem and happy with my purchase

Review: Suits my needs for optical output of music from an Apple TV to a stereo amp in my office. Sound quality is decent. Small size fits into limited desk space well and light enough to stack. Shipped fast, good packaging. Only had it a couple of weeks so canâ€™t comment on longevity but it looks well built.

Review: Nej den fungerade inte som den ska , frÃ¥n fÃ¶rsta dagen krÃ¥nglade den. NÃ¤r jag vred upp ljudet fullt, vid 80% bÃ¶rjade det att bli oljud i mina stereohÃ¶gtalare. Senare nÃ¤r jag vred till hÃ¤lften dÃ¥ blev ljudet obalanserat. Ddtta exemplar fungerade inte som den skulle.

Review: Lo utilizo para conectar la salida de mi TV Samsung 4K, a un ecualizador Yamaha, y de ahÃ a un amplificador de la misma marca.La TV toma de fuente tambiÃ©n, imÃ¡gen uy sonido de mi PC, usando Linux Mint 20. El funcionamiento del convertidor es bastante bueno; la salida al ecualizador y luego al amplificador, reproduce el sonido genial. Lo Ãºnico raro, es que cuando la TV toma de fuente la PC, de repente se generan algunos tonos extraÃ±os al cambiar de una aplicaciÃ³n de video, luego otra . Cuando la TV se conectaba al amplificador directo por cable Ã³ptico, y teniendo como fuente la PC, eso nunca sucedÃa. Pero, no es nada serio; al reproducir mÃºsica o video desde la PC a la TV, el sonio generado por el convertidor es excelente.

Review: I was on the fence, seeing DACs for near $10, but this won me over.Arrived as advertised, plugged everything in, and flipped to optical, it worked right away. High sound quality, dual output to the 3.5mm jack, and volume control should you need it (ie, if itâ€™s going to speakers out of armâ€™s reach, turn them up and use the control on this to change volume. Otherwise, just max it out – no distortion or clipping or anything.Got mine for my xbox one x, setup was as simple as going to the audio settings and turning on the optical output, along with HDMI (even though it runs to a PC monitor, hence the need for this, that still seemed necessary to get it going). Iâ€™ve searched in vain for the one xâ€™s sampling rate, I donâ€™t think itâ€™s 192 KHz, but at least I know this can handle everything. Mine runs to a mixing board, though you could certainly go directly to powered speakers or a sound system. I believe you can even do Dolby 5.1 and 7.1 through the optical, though Iâ€™d imagine if you canâ€™t run the optical straight to a sound system , the analog conversion would reduce it to stereo regardless, so this is really for people without surround.My main deciding factor was that reviews for slightly cheaper DACs had one being replaced every other review.. I wanted it to work the first time. Seems like these tend to. Just be aware, itâ€™s clear from the pics but you only get a micro USB cable to power it, youâ€™ll need your own block or USB strip to power it. So much runs off USB power nowadays , I strongly recommend surge protectors with their own sets of USB outlets, for power-only connections like this, although USB-only strips that extend a PCâ€™s total often include power-only ports as well. You can even power it from the xboxâ€™s USB if you wanted, though that wouldnâ€™t be my first choice.Overall: Well built, good looking, functions well, fair price, would recommend .
