A Profound Improvement Over Bulit-In TV AudioAudio for our largest TV runs through a pair of high-end, self-powered studio monitors that I've owned for many years. With the right signal, the speakers are loud, punchy, and transparently 3D.Recently, we inherited a three-year old Vizio E-series LCD TV, which I connected into the audio system using the TV's analog RCA outputs. Both my wife and I immediately noticed that the audio sounded dull and lifeless, no matter what the source. As familiar as I am with the monitors, I suspected that the D-to-A converters in the Vizio might be mediocre and began searching for a solution on Amazon.It didn't take long to find the little FiiO box. Given its positive reviews and reasonable price, it was an easy decision to place the order. I received the unit yesterday, connected it to the TV through the optical cable, and set the audio on the TV to output two channel PCM. The improvement was instantaneous and dramatic. Whether presenting music or the sound effects of an action film, the audio was expansive and incredibly detailed. Big and bold, yet still natural.Unless you know that your TV or AV receiver has high-end converters, I wholeheartedly recommend inserting one of these nifty FiiO D-to-A converters into your signal path. 5Easy to setup. Pretty much plug and play.Included is the FiiO D3 Unit, a power brick for it, and a very thin feeling optical TOSLink cable from Micca (that worked fine, just doesn't encourage confidence). You'll need to get your own 3.5mm or RCA connector for the analog part of the connection.Plugged everything in and attached it to an older, 10+ year old JBL stereo system (which didn't have an optical in/out, attached via RCA cables) and a 1 year old Panasonic Viera TV (which did have an optical out, no analog out). No issues, pretty much plug and play and the sound quality is a large leap in quality compared to the TV. Power delivered by the FiiO D3 into the line-in on the JBL was also sufficient, didn't have to crank up the old stereo to an insane volume level to get sufficiently loud sound out. Also had a nice LED (that's not crazy bright, thank god) indicating connection status to the TV to verify that it was functioning and the optical line was engaged.There is a tiny bit of signal delay introduced with this unit (or its from my JBL stereo speakers, didn't test with more devices) that causes a noticeable echoing effect if both the TV volume are up and the speaker volume is up. Probably around a quarter second or so worth of delay. I didn't test different sound formats (DD, 5.1, 7.1, etc); only had it attached directly to the TV and the TV was set to stereo output. But more likely than not, if you're using this, you're only going to be using the audio out from this thing and not the original source.Extremely effective way of getting better sound out of a newer TV if you have some speakers lying around and don't feel like shelling out a lot of money for a new system/sound bar. 5Perfect Optical out solution for your TV to amplifier.This solved my noisy headphone out on the TV to the the Yamaha amp. The instructions are almost unreadable due to the size but hook up is relatively simple. Run from USB or included power adapter, attach optical cord to the TV and run to the audio input on the amp. Make sure your TV is set to PCM as this will not decode Dolby Multi channel. Stereo Only. This gem has cleared the buzz and delivers a clean image. Voices on video has cleared on all sources. My daughter thought there was a thunderstorm but it was The Star Ship Enterprise rumbling during a Bluray test. Streaming from the Roku sounds just as good (depending on the source materiel) I run all thru the HDMI to the optical out on the TV and quite satisfied with the performance. Side note: Use Amazon Locker if you want to avoid porch vermin stealing your orders. 5Was a good value TV DAC when it worked, but now adds occasional "fluttering" sound in backgroundI've had this for 8 months now. It works well as a TV DAC, but is not great for high resolution music (that's expected considering the price point).I deducted three stars since it started making an occasional "fluttering" sound in the background after having it for 6 months (almost like a soft helicopter or clicking noise). I have swapped out and substituted every piece of my audio equipment and I only hear the fluttering with this DAC connected. It's an artificial background sound that will last 1-2 seconds and show up randomly (sometimes every 1-2 minutes apart, sometimes not at all). It doesn't overpower the main audio from the TV and some people may not hear the fluttering, but it will always bug me now that I've noticed it.If this problem doesn't go away on its own, I'll need to replace this DAC with something that works better. 2Good enough for casual listeningI purchased this DAC to possibly use with a MiniDSP Nano 2x8 (which would require 4 units). I wanted to test one out first. Now I'm not so sure I'll go this route. I compared the Fiio with the analog output of my Toshiba Regza TV, and I slightly prefer the built-in DAC chip in my TV. In comparison, the Fiio is slightly less detailed and has slightly less bass extension. The left-to-right imaging of the Fiio is slightly better than the Toshiba DAC. For casual listening, I don't think anyone would notice the difference. If you're looking for D to A conversion where you don't currently have such capability, the Fiio is a tremendous value for the money. If you are comparing the Fiio to the DAC chip built into your TV or old DVD player, the Fiio is probably on par with what you have. If you're hoping for an audiophile sleeper, this isn't it. In terms of sound quality, the Fiio is probably competitive with any stand-alone DAC under $50, but DAC's in the $100+ range (e.g., SMSL Sanskrit) would sound noticeably better and would give you greater connectivity. 4Great little DAC box!I have a small project studio with a lot of pro audio gear. One of the ways I like to practice vocal work to get my pitch control better is by playing expert vocals on Rock band 4 with my Xbox One. I have a Focusrite 18i20 audio interface for my studio, and in order to get my Xbox One audio into it so I can hear it through my studio monitors, I needed a DAC to go from the Xbox One's optical audio out into my Focusrite's 1/4 inputs. So I bought this little gadget and connected a stereo RCA to 1/4 cable and plugged the 2 1/4 ends into the first 2 inputs of my Focusrite unit. Works amazing!I also cut down audio latency with the Rock Band mic by using this unit. Previously I had my Xbox One connected to my surround sound system, and after doing audio calibration on it, I was getting 200+ ms audio delay. With this little DAC box, that has been cut down to 70ms. Very happy with this unit, and I can power it with USB bus power right from the Xbox Box or my PC. 5The greatest computer sound solution I did not knowI'm very satisfied. I had a high-end soundcard (HT OMEGA Claro Halo) on my previous computer and got spoiled by it. When I got a new computer recently, I had the full intention to remove that soundcard and install it on the new computer. But it was too late when I discovered that it was a PCI card, and the new motherboard did not have a PCI slot. It seemed that the only option was to spent $250 to buy a similar high-end soundcard with PCIE.Needless to say, I'm glad to discover this product. A $25 solution versus $250. The sound quality of the RCA output is every bit as good as HT OMEGA Claro Halo. I expect the output from the 3.5mm mini jack to be the same quality, although I have not tried it yet.Compared to the internal soundcard of the new computer, this is a day and night difference. The noise floor is much lower, and the sound quality much better.But note that converting digital signal to 2-channel analog output (RCA and 3.5mm mini jack) is the only thing this product does. If you have a reasonably good internal soundcard that has optical digital output, and the only thing you need is high quality 2-channel stereo sound sent to an amplifier/speaker system, this is the perfect solution. But this is not a replacement for a good soundcard if you need the full features of a soundcard such as microphone input, line input, headphone amplifier and 7.1 channels. 5Works fantastic!Works fantastic! Set up the audio on your TV to PCM output (not bitstream), connect the Toslink optical cable from the optical out on your TV to the optical in on the FiiO D3 adapter, connector either a 3.5mm audio cable or the L/R RCA cable to the FiiO adapter and then connect the other end to a Bluetooth transmitter, pair the transmitter to your Bluetooth headphones, and - BAM - you have crystal clear audio on your headphones from the TV.Now we can listen to the audio of our TV programs through the 2.1 channel soundbar system, which is connected to the HDMI ARC output on the TV and the HDMI input of the soundbar, and if she goes to bed and I want to watch something without disturbing her, I can turn off the soundbar and put on my headphones, connect them to the Bluetooth transmitter, and I can listen to crystal clear audio with the headphones without disturbing anyone else in the house. 5No OTA audio because it only supports PCMBuy the Prozor instead if you want Dolby audio from OTA AntennaProzor Dolby DAC: https://amzn.to/2WwFl8bOn my old Panny plasma I cannot set PCM, so whatever format the source has is whats sent to this device. Unfortunately, the OTA broadcasts are in Dolby Digital and this DAC will not work. I have an Amazon Fire hooked up as well, and this DAC works fine with that.But I wanted a solution that worked for OTA so I didnt have to enable my TV speakers when watching OTA digital antenna. So I ordered another DAC that said it supported Dolby. It only had one review on it, so I was a bit worried, but low and behold it works with my OTA digital antenna and my Amazon Fire on HDMI1 using the optical out on the TV. I have returned the FiiO D3 and now I use the Prozor DAC.Prozor Dolby DAC: https://amzn.to/2WwFl8b 3FiiO D3 (D03K) Digital to Analog Audio ConverterIncludes power supply (110V in and USB out) with long extension cord and a 6 ft optical link, so it fits well with my layout. This is what I was most worried about. Easy to put together, and the sound quality is great on my SennHeiser wireless earphones. I have a Samsung TV, so I had to change the settings for the Digital Output Audio Format to PCM, as required by the FiiO D/A Audio Converter. I use my SennHeiser earphones at night, during my insomnia episodes so as not to wake my wife. I previously had the earphone transmitter plugged into my AT&T tuner, so I couldn't get sound from the apps on the TV, such as Netflix, Prime, HBOGO, etc. Now, I have the earphone transmitter plugged into the optical out put of the Samsung TV, and I can get any output produced by the TV. Note that I mute the TV. This does not affect the digital output. 5
