Is there any delay in the converted audio or still in synch with the TV video?
A shopper
on Apr 7, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I had problems setting it up with a late model digital Sony TV and an old analog Bose 321 unit. I attribute it to pilot error, not the converter. I never noticed any delay, but the the connection was intermittent and now I'm just using the TV audio until I have the time to mess with it further or update to a receiver with native digital support.

Hello: Unfortunately, I never could get mine to work. I think it is due to my Blu Player. It may have an issue. I tried all of my back connections on my Receiver, but I could never hear any sound. Yes, I was rather disappointed, but I only wanted this for if I wanted to use headphones through my Receiver.

I haven't noticed any delay between my projector video and the audio. Given the frequency of the Blu-ray PWM output, and the speed of modern D:A's, that wasn't unexpected.

I experienced no delay but, to be fair, the sound quality is what you can reasonably expect from a twenty dollar device.

Can I connect external powered speakers via the digital audio out with the converter and will I be able to control the speaker volume with the tv remote?
A shopper
on Jan 2, 2017
BEST ANSWER: If your TV has analog outs AND the speaker settings have the VARIABLE option, connect the amplified speakers (such as computer speakers) to an RCA male to 3.5 mm male stereo Y adaptor which you can get on Monoprice and set the TV speakers to OFF. That way the TV remote will control the volume of the external speakers. The digital to analog converter is not needed useless in this case.

What goes in will come out volume wise. Unless the analog audio source has a volume control or is controlled by its own wireless remote you will not have volume control with this device alone.

Do you use standard rca cable on both sides?
Corey B
on Apr 13, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes. The output side has standard L/R analog audio out(RCA). The input side has both RCA(Coaxial) and Toslink(Optical) inputs. And of course there's a power jack & LED. Example Monoprice cables listed below. AC power adapter is included. You can also hook it up to USB for power(Not included, or sold by Monoprice as far as I know). Power demands are low (500mA) so it will power from any USB on TV or AV Receiver.

Standard RCA on the output and either an optical cable or digital RCA on the input. The Digital RCA is usually Orange.

I see there's no on/off switch, according to the manual. So if I leave it plugged into the electric outlet even when the TV is off, will the converter still be drawing power from the electric outlet? And if so, how much electricity would I be passively wasting?

It does what it?s supposed to do, but if you don?t have a remote to your studio monitors then you can?t adjust the volume which is annoying. If anything you should get a dac or premamp with a remote if your speakers don?t have one.

Digital to analog converter
I received the converter and coaxial cables (ordered separately/cables do NOT come with the converter). The quality of the product is instantly visually obvious. Instruction were extremely clear. I connected the unit and instantly had fantastic, clean crisp, audio from the speakers I had connected to my receiver. I was very excited because I had been trying, for a long time, to get audio through my receiver but could not because the receiver only had analog inputs. This converter made it happen! I highly recommend this converter and Monoprice, they are an outstanding company.
