  • Wouldn't any $2 audio 3.5mm cable do the job?

    • +4

      Not really, this is a digital to analog converter.

      • -2

        if you HAVE to use optical for some reason…? pretty sure the coaxial already carries analog signal.

        • +1

          SPDIF can be output as coaxial as well as optical. Only difference is there's only one cable rather than a pair for stereo.

    • Not all TV/devices have analogue output

      • +2

        Also just to add, 3.5mm shuts off the tv speakers.almost always. Optical usually doesn't. Handy for those times when you want to use a speaker sometimes (like for movies) but don't want to have to pull out the cable every time your finished.

  • looks like a mini-usb port? which is super out dated?

    • +9

      It's a power port. 5v is 5v. You wanna pay extra for a nicer looking 5v, go for it.

      • -5

        No, it's mini USB, a cable most people won't have, because it's so outdated, therefore how old is this thing!, maybe it doesn't matter

        • +4

          It doesn't matter. I've recently bought the ADC equivalent of this and it comes with a short USB cable for powering it, so as long as the cable doesn't die I won't have to go digging in the depths of that box of cables that I'll get round to sorting any decade now.

            @banana365: they give you the cable anyway

            this thing is ancient… like 2015 but it does a simple thing and it does good and cheap so really who cares what cable it uses when they include it in the box

        • +6

          We all have the box of old cables.

          • +3

            @ihfree: I have like 15 different lengths in a 'will need it someday' cable box

        • +2

          Kidding right?

          From where I'm sitting right now i can see 3 of these cables plugged into devices. Sure it's not as fancy as USB-C or even USB-micro but does the job and I'm confident once it's plugged in, you will forget about it for the next decade.

          If it really bothers you… buy a unit and ship it to me and I'll swap it over to USB-C for you. PM for prices
