Ultra-compact and ultra-easy to use, yet with high sound quality! Don't compare it to just another converter!
With the proliferation of devices with optical digital outputs, such as TVs, game consoles, and digital players, and the decline of devices with traditional analog outputs, demand is growing for devices that convert optical digital output to analog RCA output and easily connect to audio equipment for high-quality sound. This D/A converter, designed specifically for optical digital signals, was developed with three key concepts in mind: small and compact, easy to use, and high-quality sound.
Simply connect it to a USB port with the included USB cable. Simply connect it to a player, TV, or other playback device via an optical digital cable, and then connect the output to a soundbar, powered speakers, or audio amplifier to enjoy high-quality sound.
This compact D/A converter uses the ESS Technology ES9018K2M DAC IC and is equipped with an optical digital input terminal, supporting high-resolution audio sources (24-bit/192kHz).
This is a compact, single-function, high-quality D/A converter that achieves ample sound quality for an audio product by limiting its interface to an optical digital input, while achieving an extremely compact size.
The power connector uses a versatile USB (Type-C) port, and it operates on a 5V USB power supply.
It operates simply by connecting to a USB port with the included USB cable, so it can be used anywhere, using an AC-USB adapter commonly used for cell phone chargers, or a TV's USB port as a power source.
In particular, it can be used conveniently as a digital-to-analog converter (optical digital input to RCA stereo output), converting the optical digital output of a TV or game console into analog for high-quality sound, and connecting to audio amplifiers, speakers with built-in amplifiers, sound bars, etc.
