Description

Product Overview

The Tackston 192KHz DAC Optical to 3.5mm Converter is engineered to bridge the gap between modern digital optical outputs and traditional analog audio inputs. Built with a high‑precision digital‑to‑analog conversion chip, the unit faithfully reproduces audio signals up to 192KHz sampling rate and 24‑bit depth, ensuring that every nuance of your favorite movies, music, and games is retained. The compact housing measures just 4.5 x 3.5 x 0.1 inches and weighs a mere 3 ounces, making it an unobtrusive addition to any entertainment setup. A dedicated USB power input supplies the necessary 5V, eliminating the need for external power adapters and keeping cable clutter to a minimum. The converter’s robust construction, featuring a reinforced TOSLINK connector and a gold‑plated 3.5mm jack, provides reliable signal integrity and long‑term durability even with frequent plug‑in and unplug cycles.

Usage

This converter is designed for a wide range of everyday scenarios. Connect the TOSLINK end to the optical audio out port on your television, sound bar, or media player, then plug the 3.5mm AUX jack into headphones, portable speakers, or a legacy stereo system. Because the device only accepts input from the TV side, it is perfect for users who want to enjoy late‑night viewing without disturbing others, as the audio can be routed directly to a pair of comfortable headphones. The USB power cable can be attached to any standard USB port on the TV, a wall charger, or a power bank, offering flexibility for both stationary and mobile setups. Whether you are setting up a home theater, a bedroom entertainment station, or a compact office media center, the converter delivers low‑latency, high‑fidelity sound that matches the quality of the source material.

FAQ

Can this converter be used to send audio from headphones back to the TV?

No. The converter is a one‑way device that only accepts digital optical input from the TV and outputs analog audio via the 3.5mm jack. It cannot transmit audio in the opposite direction.

What audio formats are supported?

The unit supports PCM stereo and high‑resolution PCM up to 192KHz/24‑bit. It does not decode multi‑channel formats such as Dolby Digital or DTS; you should set your TV’s audio output to PCM or Stereo for optimal performance.

Do I need a separate power supply?

The converter draws power from a standard 5V USB source. You can connect the supplied USB cable to any USB port on your TV, a wall charger, or a power bank. No additional power adapter is required.

Why am I hearing a buzzing noise after installation?

A buzzing sound can be caused by a ground loop when the USB power cable shares a common ground with other audio equipment. To resolve this, try plugging the USB cable into a different USB port on the TV or use a short USB extension cable to separate the power source from the audio path.

Is the converter compatible with 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound?

The converter does not support multi‑channel surround formats. To use it, change your TV’s audio output setting to PCM or Stereo, which will downmix the signal to a compatible two‑channel format.
