TOSLINK & DAC; best friends of the old Pro Logic receivers. No cooling from the laptops and PC's humming through silent moments anymore...such a relief.
@paulstubbs7678
A few gotcha's, One, your TV remote will probably NOT vary the audio level out when you use remotes volume controls, so you'll need two remotes, one for the TV and one for the sound system. Two, plugging in the toslink cable will not shut off your TV's internal speakers, meaning you'll have to remember to leave the TV's volume at zero, and turn up the external amplifier. Three, the sound from your external DAC, and the TV's internal sound will most likely NOT be in perfect sync, meaning if you run both you will perceive it as an echo. Also, as a side note, if your running an Android TV, they get upset if you use the 3.5mm headphone socket to feed an external amp, in that the TV will think your running headphones and will occasionally turn down the volume thinking it's protecting a headphone wearers hearing. (blame the EU for that silly rule) All said and done, a 'HDMI ARC' audio converter maybe a better option, as they promise being able to adjust the volume with the TV's remote. - sorry more research and spending needed to confirm this last bit.
@BryanMiraflor
bro what happened to the top half of your head tho
@ilestojanov6140
I use the analog to digital connected to my cassette decks and yes i can confirm that it improves the sound quality and output volume significantelly.i recomend to anyone who uses analog sources connected to a modern amplifiers,it makes a huge difference and enables old analog gear to be used in a modern era systems!
@thisislilraskal
Thanks man, I always learn something from your videos, and even though this is pretty basic stuff, I appreciate how you don't talk down to us like we're stupid. Salute
@NunzioMannala
Thank god i found this video, no one says a word about DAC on 5.1 system
@steveurbach3093
I want one of those 5 -> Optical converters. I have 2 pieces of Legacy QUAD (4 RCA). Because of that, I must use a older receiver that does not have HDMI
@Hi_Randoms
you have officially saved me from going insane! <3
@oscardelta1257
While my TV has RCA connections they are all being utilized so in order to connect my wireless headphone base which has RCA connectors my only other option was to use the TOSLINK. So I bought a DAC.
@ShantaKarunaratne
thank you! very simple language and educational. I learned something new.
@MisterYeko
I dont think its really recommended buying it for 5.1 Surround Channel when its limited to two Channels. you can use it with an vintage amplifier to your TV and have like a full stereo sound. unless such as PS2, DVD and BluRay players has an Toslink for 5.1 Dolby Surround but thats all about it. i got an RCA Stereo to Toslink/SPDIF Converter, using for my moms Turntable to plug the Samsung subwoofer in our living room. the subwoofer we had has one Toslink and two HDMI Inputs, ARC and regular HDMI. its kinda recommended to plug as an alternative speakers to Turntables, CD Player or Cassette deck using the converter to TV Subwoofer you already own. Since Music where mostly Stereo. Its not like that it will blows it but it does its job with very decent sound.

I Bought A Reverse Converter To Connect My Wii To My Computer Speaker (Logitech z906). It Has A Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder That Converts To Dolby Digital {AC-3}.
@regieviernes5501
Nice explaination dude
@philipchong6273
Thanks. I am getting the DAC converter because a TV soundbar costs too much. My computer speaker with a subwoofer which take RCA cost much less. I hope it works.
@dabmanian_devil
Idk if they made them when u made this video, but cruising on Amazon lolkong at these dacs,, i did cone across some that went from toslink/coax to 5.1 surround i believe... the output on the converter had 6 red rca looking ports and they were labeld like F.L., F.R. , SS.L , SS.R. , CENTER , and the last i believe was either SUB or WOOFER or sumn..... But yeah it was wierd since it didnt have the white rca ports to pair w each red one.... Idk 100% if that actually is what i believe it to be, but i remember checking it oit n reading sumn about dac surround 5.1 out... And it was the same price as the reg dacs like 25 bucks
@tristan_840
Nice content very helpful and straight forward.
@joelj.v
Hi, quick question, Instead of getting one of these, I was looking at FiiO - BR13, a HiRes DAC that also has bluetooth. Compared to the traditional ones (Like the one mentioned in this video), would getting a HiRes DAC like the FiiO - BR13 make the sound from the TV significatly better than when connected via a traditional low cost DAC? Please advise. Additionally would connecting with the Coaxial output from the DAC to the Sound system provide 5.1?
@nerdforlife
Woooow excellent video!
@cyanoure
If the left channel on my TV does not work (no sound, just barely noticable noise) even with the built-in speakers and all of the analog outputs, is there any chance that on the digital output there will be sound with both channels?
