Question: I have an analog receiver.  Would this allow me to get audio from Amazon Fire box through surroundsound system? If so, how hard to set up?
Document: Despite a few negative reviews and my gut feeling that there is no way a $16 black box could adequately convert stereo analog audio to a Toslink optical signal I had a strong enough need for something like this I thought I would gamble.My need? To transmit a decent sounding stereo audio signal from my home entertainment system (whether that be radio, TV, CD, DVD, etc) to a secondary amplifier that feeds two sets of speakers in my pool area and patio area.
I bought this because (like another reviewer), I had a bluetooth audio receiver whose signal I needed to convert to an optical digital signal for my audio system (very handy when friends drop by and want to play something they have on their phone). Mind you, this should work with pretty much any two-channel analog signal as provided by a 'typical' electronic device (mp3 player, etc.).
I replaced a good desktop with a laptop, the desktop had a superior Boston Acoustic digital speaker system. I needed to get a device which converted analog audio to digital. I read a review that called this product amazing. It turned out to be an understatement. It easily compares to products costing a lot more.
I have an old Boston Acoustic 735A digital speaker system. I was told it would in no way work with my new computer system. This Analog to Digital Converter Adapter had it working in no time. You will need to connect a Digital Audio Coaxial Cable from the coaxial output of the Adapter to the coaxial input of the 735A's sub woofer. You will also need a 3.5mm male plug to two RCA male plugs to connect between the stereo output of the computer and the RCA inputs of the adapter.
I have a decent home theater stereo system that I plug all of my sound sources into (cable box, Blu-ray/DVD, Xbox 360, & VCR), that provides either digital coaxial or RCA analog audio outputs. My LED HDTV can accept either RCA analog or digital coaxial inputs, but its built-in speakers aren't very good, they're too quiet with very little range of volume (0-20) and no bass to speak of.
I decided to order this item because my computer did not have an output compatible with my soundbar. Having a spare optical input on the soundbar I ordered this unit to adapt the computer to the optical input. When I unpacked the shipment I found that the device in the box was a digital to audio adapter. However, the box was labelled with the right part number and description. Unfortunately a properly labelled box itself was no help! I contacted Amazon and specifically requested an exchange but got a refund instead.
The sound is identical to what I get directly from the Marantz. All kinds of logic and physics tell me that is not possible, especially for $16, but it's true.The little adapter is quite a bit smaller than I expected, enclosed in a well-finished metal box and is surprisingly well made. The power adapter plugs into the switchable outlet at the rear of my Onkyo and powers on and off with the system.
I have a Yamaha soundbar, which has only one analog input and one digital coax input. I needed a way to connect multiple devices to the system. This adapter came in handy because I was able to put my analog (bluetooth receiver) on one side and connect to the soundbar with a digital coax cable.Connection was simple (remember to buy the digital cable), and the performance has been great so far. I'm very happy with the product.
This is easily one of the best audio components I've ever purchased - hooks up easily, and it works like it should. Our set-up involves a quiet laptop to a surround sound system, and it actually greatly increases the audio from the laptop -- without distort or noise -- and it separates the audio to the surrounds more accurately.Excellent.
I get no sound at all, even though I have all the right cords and it's hooked up properly.And yes, it IS hooked up properly. That was a no-brainer, actually. It just doesn't work.I am now of the opinion that there is actually NO SUCH THING as a converter box that will convert analog to digital, sound OR video.
Answer: Does your tv have an optical output? If so, yes this is what you need. Most HD flat panels have one. My spare tv is 10 years old and rocks it. What you'll need is a male-male rca cable (they typically have red and white tips), an open electric socket on your power strip, and an optical cable. This is really easy to setup. The hardest thing for me to do was plug the optical cable in... My tv is wall mounted, that's why it was hard. Once all the cables are hooked up, red to red, white to white, optical to optical, and the converter is plugged in you just need to access your TV's sound settings. Turn off your TV speakers and change the audio output to optical. Then you'll be watching your movies, cable, and Amazon Fire in surround sound.
