DSD TECHSH-AU02A USB to TOSLINK Coaxial SPDIF Audio Adapter Support 96K 24Bit

I got this to connect some radio equipment to a soundbar. It was simple to setup and it just worked with WINDOWS 11. The sound is great. No complaints, I would recommend this adapter.

I got this to convert USB audio out from my new micro PC into optical in for my stereo receiver (again stereo- not surround sound). This works great, sounds better than analog. I used a 10ft USB 2.0 B to C cable into the DSD and my optical cable from DSD to my stereo receiver. Powered by USB, it's easy to conceal. The ONLY issue which some have mentioned is volume control but it's much less of a problem than what some have posted: all the apps vol controls still work fine (WM, VLC, Youtube) and there is no problem with audio synching to the video. The only issue is that my keyboard's vol+/- keys no longer work (mute still does though). So it's a small price to get good stereo audio again.Update: I found a great app Volumey that restored my Kensington keyboard's volume+/- keys so all good! In the app, go to Misc, then Synchronize volume of all apps to Master. That's all you have to do. Whether you are streaming, or using VLC, even minimized, it works perfectly.

This product did not work as advertised.

I am using this to play MP3s on my laptop over a 30’ optical cable to a Schiit D/A converter at my stereo. It works exactly as intended with high quality sound.One difference I noticed from my previous setup was what happens when there is an bitstream interruption from the laptop. My previous setup would hard dropout (like an LP scratch), whereas this converter temporarily reduces the volume and then returns to normal. Obviously there should never be such long bitstream interruptions, but the gentle volume reduction in these situations is much more desirable than a hard dropout. Recommend.

Context, I am a bit of an audiophile so consider that when processing my thoughts. I wanted to use this with my phone into an external dac. It is functional. however, output is low. Have to turn phone up almost all the way and that seems to distort the sound enough to be noticeable.Sound quality is just really not good. Flat and grainy, lacking clarity too. I can't listen to is.May be fine for you, just not if you expect something akin to decent quality sound.

I bought this for the Coaxial S/PDIF output, but it didn't work. The sound would intermittently cut in and out every 30s or so.I wanted to make sure issue was with the device and not an unrelated issue. 1) I verified I was using coaxial cables with the right 75ohm spec. 2) I verified the same mac/speakers/cables worked when I upgraded to a more expensive USB device.Giving two stars instead of on since headphone jack worked, which may be what most people are buying this for.

I bought this to link my Sony NW-A307 Walkman USB out to my car's audio system which, via an AudioControl DM-608, can accept a TOSLINK or COAX input audio source.I previously tried two other devices: 1) Cubilux USB C to SPDIF Adapter, which worked sort of (dropped connection on track change) 2) Douk Audio U2 XMOS XU208: complete fail, despite claims it would work with Android, did not even recognize the Walkman (NW-A307 runs Android 12)I am happy to say DSD TECH SH-AU02A works perfect! Audio routes from the Walkman over TOSLINK to the DM-608! The link between the devices remains when skipping tracks or when the Walkman is on PAUSE or STOPPED. Audio quality is great!Wish I had tried this device first!

Works well and also sends the correct base line optical signal, so that the connection is recognized before any audio is played. This was important for my cdr unit to work properly.
