Using a TV's digital toslink output thru the converter, will sound be present via headphones without using a separate amplifier, such as a stereo?
884638
Yes, but the converter needs to be plugged in to your home's electric power too. The power cord and adapter comes with it. Sound is excellent.
884639
Yes. Most of the time I use headphones directly plugged into it...no additional stereo or amp needed. If you look at the pictures of the unit, you will see a volume knob next to the headphone jack. That knob controls the headphone volume.
884640
Yes. There is a 1/8 inch headphone jack on the front of this box and a volume control knob for it. The TV volume can be completely down, and your headphone volume will be independantly controlled by this unit's volume knob.

Toslink optical cable from your TVs audio output to this converter. Then from the converter with a stereo analog audio cable to an analog audio input on your surround or stereo receiver.

No, this is only for the visual output from the computer. A separate 1/8" output plugged into the headphones jack would be required for audio.

The D/A converter unit has standard RCA jack outputs which can be connected to any analog preamplifier, amplifier or low-level tape-style (250mV) inputs. So the sound data flows from TV (digital) to the optical OR Coaxial cable connected to the D/A converter. The analog outputs then can connect to any powered speaker unit or amp with analog (unbalanced) RCA connections. If the "soundbar" has an analog input, it should work. Many have digital coax or optical inputs, and in this case, the D/A converter is completely unnecessary.

Hmm, well the tv is only really a monitor and wouldn't have anything to do with sound in this case right? Wouldn't you need to get the dolby sound from the broadcast source like your cable or directv box? e.g. connect your audio optical cord to the cablebox directly & plug directly into your HT setup.

This is only a cable. You would need something to convert Toslink optical to something that could drive your headphones. This would involve a D to A converter and a small amplifier. This cable is designed to take the special Toslink output from a Macintosh computer and make it into a regular Toslink cable. Sorry this won't work for your application.

Yes. In my case it is connected to a stand alone DAC using a 75 ohm coaxial cable interconnect (S/PDIF). Works very well. You can also choose an optical connection (Toslink).

Sure, as long as your TV has the output for Toslink or Coaxial and your headphones use the 3.5mm audio jack or RCA. The only problem I can see you having is that on my TV you cannot control the volume via the TV so your headphone should have some sort of volume control.

Hello Lobsterinthesun. I purchased one of these and it does what it needs to do. It will convert a digital audio output into an analog signal. I needed this to convert the digital output from a TV to an analog input to a PS3 unit. It will take either a Toslink digital output or a coaxil digital output and convert it to an analog output. All you would need to do is to take a set of RCA cables from the output of this unit and plug it into your receiver.

Technically, yes, this DAC could be used between your TV's digital output and your amp, providing your TV has a digital audio output. If it's only offering analog (RCA cables) then the audio has already been converted.

Yes, a simple XLR cable into a preamp will do the trick. No other converters needed (as long as you have an audio interface of course).

Yes, if you get a digital out signal before your speakers. If it is headphone out, then you will actually be using the DAC on your PC in most cases, so this won't perform the function you are looking for. In essence, you need an output on your pc that allows you to bypass its internal DAC so that the conversion will occur on the FiiO.

Yes - my TV didn't have an optical out, so I ended up getting a converter; there was a tiny delay in the sound, but it was only perceptible when I had the TV audio on as well.

Hi Margie, On my TV, Model VO320E, there is no provision for headphones. There are two RCA jacks for audio out that can be used with a converter cable, but sound to the TV speakers is not muted unless you go into audio setup with the remote to turn off the speakers. This will work with a headset, I've done it. The level of sound coming out is still adjusted with the volume control on the remote. An Amplified headset would work best in this situation.

Yes. At least I can with my tv. I had to buy an adapter for my specific tv that only has Red & White audio outputs. So I bought the Red&white; to headphone adapter. Plug red & white into tv audio out, and plug the headphone/aux cable that comes out of the subwoofer into the other end of the red&white; cable. I was assume most newer tvs have just a headphone/audio out, so you may not need an adapter like I did. Amazon has the adapter: 2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch

Yes. It worked for me. But the TV must output PCM (not Dolby Digital.) My TV's TOSLINK output is going thru a 2-way splitter. One to Soundbar and one to Sennheiser headset via Sanoxy converter.

The audio jack will also accept an optical-toslink cable which provides surround sound audio signal to your home theatre amplifier, or use the hdmi output jack which has both surround sound and video signals combined in one output cable to your theatre system.
