PROZOR 192kHz DAC Converter Digital to Analogue Optical Coaxial to RCA AUX

I upgraded my workshop TV and wanted something that would connect it to my old Technics amp, for playing music Blurays. This was a simple device, that did exactly what I needed. It is easy to use, but does require a USB power supply, I used an old phone charger. The sound quality is very good, it came with an optical fibre lead that plugged into the back of the new TV and the power lead. It has lasted well in a busy art room and is easy to put out of the way. Over all, I am very happy with it.

Excellent, especially for the very reasonable price. Both Coaxial and Optical checked, all good. My installation required Optical and, now it's in, it works a treat, has good levels and excellent stereo seperation. More expensive models exist but for reliable, non-professional use, this device is perfect (although mine is being used within a broadcast tech. environment for bgm distribution).

Good point: Price Bad point: needs to be used with 2nd volume control, in our case a 2nd remote for our aged hifi - no doubt ideal if you use headphones if those have their own volume adjustment. Debatable point: Awkard to set it up if you can't be bothered reading the instructions on the tin. Conclusion: Not the best product for our needs The problem: I've given this a 4 star rating, which is maybe unfair as it is good at what it does. I bought it to connect a brand new tv (with no headphone socket) to our old hifi which hasn't got an optical or hdmi input. It works, but as the optical signal does not have a volume control we can only change the volume by using a second remote. If this is no big deal to you, then great product and good price. When first set up, we had no sound output from Ch101 onwards (HD) or any of the Apps, iPlayer, ITV Hub, etc etc. But that's basically because I didn't read the instructions contained in the ad above and on the box. It clearly states 'Please set your TV audio output to PCM / LPCM'. In this glorious tech age I did some googling to find out what was written under my nose. I gave that point 3 stars, though again, maybe that's unfair as the setting is burried in our TV menu, which is no fault of this product. Our solution but twice the price: But we decided we didn't like using 2 remotes (the one on our old hifi is a bit naff, which doesn't help). We've now replaced this with a more expensive HDMI ARC to audio converter which does exactly what we want (still a bit fiddly to set up as only one of the HDMI sockets on the TV is compatitible).

I used this as an optical (digital) from an LG television to phono/RCA (analogue) to a Cambridge amplifier (which was on offer) to a couple of old but unused Tandy/Realistic speakers. My soundbar was too temperamental using HDMI/Bluetooth or Optical (the three outputs/inputs available between the LG television and LG Soundbar). Using the tv over broadband only (don't know if that's part of the issue). The problem was that whatever I tried couldn't get a clear sound (volume/clarity etc) between different app sources. The has solved the issue for me. I now have simple control over the sound. It is clearly to do with a very good amp and dare I say it a couple of very good speakers. That said, the Prozor DAC is playing its part as well. Audiophiles on Youtube and the like, speak in terms of DACs that cost in the hundreds. In fairness, they are talking about music over various interfaces to the Cambridge and then on via very expensive speaker wire to even more expensive speakers. Their systems are all at least £1K to £1.5K whereas mine for my purposes was about £350 all in (I had the speakers from a purchase in the late seventies). This unit works and costed very little so it has to get a five star review.

Got this little gizmo, because the CD player in my Panasonic SA-AKX52 hi fii had packed up. My choice was try and repair or replace the CD player, buy a separate player, for which I would need another electric socket or find a way to get my Sony BDPS4100 Smart 3D Blu-ray Disc Player to play through my non smart hi-fi so I could use that to listen to CDs. Problem was, my BD player, only had a digital coaxial output and my LG TV only had one SPDIF/Toslink digital output. My hi-fi had neither of these as inputs. I already had my Tivo box connected to my hi-fi by a scart multi connector, which also converted the audio, to standard stereo audio phono/RCA plugs, which then connected to the hi-fi. The blu ray player and TiVo were connected to the LG TV by HDMI leads. This little box solved and simplified, the whole mess. It comes with two leads one USB to DC barrel type connector cable and one optical (also known as SPDIF or Toslink) cable. What you do is plug the USB lead into a USB socket on your TV. (If your TV doesn't have one, you will have to get a separate one that plugs into the mains or use a USB socket from another device such as a play station, lap top etc.) The USB supplies the power (5 volts) to the unit. A red light will come on, telling you the unit is now receiving power. Then you plug the the SPDIF/Toslink lead into your TV and the other end into the Prozor DAC unit.. Then using two standard audio phono/RCA leads, connect the phono sockets on the unit, to the phono/RCA /Aux IN sockets on your hi-fi. (These phono/RCA leads DON'T come with the unit, you have to supply these yourself) That's it... Now any digital audio, that is coming into your TV from HDMI connectors or other inputs, will be output to the unit from your TV converted to analogue and sent to your non-digital hifi.. Before, when I had my TiVo connected to the hi-fi by scart, when I used my blu ray player, I had to use my less than ideal TV speakers to listen to the audio on films, as the blu ray player had no scart or phono out sockets. Now I can use my hi-fi speakers if I want to. I am only using the SPDIF/Toslink socket on the unit, to connect to my TV and hence Blu Ray player and TiVo box, to my hi-fi. It also has a digital coaxial socket, so if I wished, I could connect my blu ray or any other device with a coaxial digital out socket, directly to the unit and hence to the non-smart analogue hi-fi if I wanted to. It has an autosense input selection, which prioritise the SPDIF/Toslink connectio, so this must be disabled/disconnected to use the digital coaxial one. Very pleased with this device. Unit itself, is sturdy and well made, leads are not particularly long (not an issue if you are plugging them both into the same TV) The SPDIF/Toslink lead, is maybe not the sturdiest I have ever seen but if you are not going to be plugging and unplugging it a lot, then that shouldn't be an issue. With digital leads, they either work or they don't, they are not like analogue leads where you sometimes get a bit of power through but not ALL of it. with digital leads you get ALL or NONE. These worked right away no problems whatsoever. Sound quality, seems very good. I played various sources, through the unit. CD, mp3s from USB stick, SD card, from USB converter,YouTube etc and they all worked. The levels seemed fairly consistent, going to the hi-fi and of course you control the main volume from that volume control, there is no volume control on the unit. All in all very pleased with this little device.

Great Product work as intended it seems to be of a very good quality, comes with all the necesary cables and instructions to make it plug and play.

Big delay in the sound causing voices to come way after talking on TV. Adjusted all settings possible to resolve but still a delay no matter what.

It worked really well. However, I had to return it back as there is no remote control and, hence, no volume control when using with optical.

Perfecte en goedkopere oplossing voor de tv-ontvanger die KPN nu levert en die geen jack aansluiting heeft. Geluid gaat via optische aansluiting naar deze omvormer en dan naar mijn versterker. Kwalitatief zeer goed, zelfs veel beter dan met de vorige tv-ontvanger die wel een jack aansluiting had.

Bra ljud, väldigt prisvärd. Men jag använder den i bilen och det blir ett surrande ljud när anläggningen slås av.

Gewohnt schnell geliefert habe ich heute den PROZOR DA Wandler Optisch auf Cinch Audio erhalten. Ich habe einen Samsung GQ55S85FAU Fernseher und wollte den Ton über die Stereoanlage wiedergeben. Die Bluetooth-Verbindung über einen Transmitter war störanfällig, z.B. wenn in der Nähe ein Smartphone benutzt wurde. Was soll ich sagen? Den DA-Wandler habe ich gemäß der leicht verständlichen Bedienungsanleitung angeschlossen, mit Stromversorgung über USB-Buchse am Fernseher und Tonausgabe am Fernseher auf PCM gestellt. Ergebnis: Perfekte Tonübertragung, ohne Störgeräusche! Einfacher geht's nicht. Ich kann das Gerät zu dem wirklich niedrigen Preis empfehlen.

Solidly built out of aluminum, comes with a digital audio cable that works well so it's not necessary to buy a separate one, inputs are clearly labeled. Plug and play, very easy to operate. When connecting to a TV if you don't hear sound coming out of your speakers you may need to go into your settings and set your output to digital output or PCM to get it to send the sound to the DAC. The only downside to this unit is that it doesn't have any volume controls, so some TVs will output a set volume with no way to control it from the TV end of things once they are set to digital output, such means you'll need some kind of line level volume control. If you've got a sound bar or an amp then you'll control volume through that but if you are doing what I did and making a diy 3.1 stereo setup you'll need something separate to control volume. They make Dacs that have this ability, though they cost a bit more. All in all functioned exactly how I expected, around quality was good and I was satisfied with this purchase.

Lieferung und Verpackung waren wie immer schnell und unproblematisch. Zum Anschluss an den Fernseher benötigt man (ich hab diese Variante gewählt) das beigelegte Toslink-Kabel für die Daten und das ebenfalls gelieferte USB-Kabel zur Stromversorgung. Jetzt ist nur noch der Fernseher bei der Audio-Ausgabe auf PCM zu stellen. An der Ausgangsseite wurde ein Cinch-Kabel an den analogen Verstärker angeschlossen. Das war auch schon alles. Es funktkonierte sofort nach dem Einschalten von Fernseher und Verstärker. An Eingängen wird zudem noch COAX angeboten. Auf der Ausgangsseite gibt es noch einen 3, mm Kopfhöreranschluss. Vermisst habe ich lediglich einen Regler zu Pegelanpassung. Dieses erwies sich glücklichweise als unnötig, da der Pegel (Lautstärke) glücklicherweise auch zu den anderen Eingängen am Verstärker passte. Zum Klang: generell mit etwas heller Tedenz obwohl der Bass durchaus voluminös und tief kommt. (Nicht nur) in Anbetracht des Preises meine volle Empfehlung.
