Cubilux USB A to TOSLINK Optical Audio Adapter, Unidirectional USB Type A to SPDIF Digital Converter, S/PDIF Transmitter Compatible with Computer Laptop PC PS5/4 ONLY, NOT for TV Or Other Devices

Bought for a PC that didn't have optical out. Works just as expected. Easy to install. Sounds good.

I got this to hook up my sonos ray as only input is optical, my MacBook is connected to Monitor via displaylink and adapter connected to monitor via usb, i then set MacBook sound output to usb in settings, also changed monitor sound output to usb, sound quality and connectivity all good, easy to install, good quality.

Age (mine) caused me to buy this. I listen to Amazon Music on my Hi-Fi via a Wiim Pro Plus streamer. I like the sound but although the controlling App for the Wiim is very good, it is not available on a PC. Using a tablet or phone, I have difficulty reading the screen and prefer to see the Amazon Music site online on the 60 inch TV in my living room. I needed a way of getting the sound from the USB outlet of the mini pc attached to the hi-fi into the optical input of the Wiim to take advantage of its AKG DAC. Should have been simply plug and play using the Cubilux and would have been had the said mini PC been attached to a screen. It isn't. The screen is attached to another mini PC connected to to the TV about 12 ft away. The answer was to control the pc attached to the hi-fi from the pc attached to the TV using Windows 'Remote Desktop'. Confusion on my part about which was the host and which was the receving PC led to 2 or 3 hours of changing and mixing settings before getting it right. The cubilux, completely oblivious and unperturbed by my confusion just worked. The sound is perfect and delivering the promised full 24 bit 192 khz to my hifi via an interface which is fully legible and straightforward. Summation, the Cubilux is simple, straightforward and effective. Me, not so much.

Works as advertised. got this to use on my main desktop pc. audio quility is 10/10 and just works with my windows 11 pc. Only down side is audio cuts out with skipping back or forward. so i think the audio chip can't keep up with fast audio switching so only giving 4/5 score.

Works flawlessly with Raspberry Pi (no driver software to install) to output digital audio to minidisc recorder and also with digital input version of this adaptor for loop-back recording to the Raspberry Pi with Audacity... working well no complaints! =)

The first one I brought, overheated when I placed it in my computer. I tried plugging it into another port, did not help. I brought another one after asking for a refund and this one came in a worse condition. Please refer to the photo as it shows the USB was bent. This one also didn’t arrive in a plastic protective sleeve or plastic wrapping on the USB like the original one did. It could still be plugged and this time I could see the red colour from the SPDIF signalling it works. My computer read it just fine but as I plugged in my sound bar and configured all settings on my soundbar to receive optical audio, it wouldn’t work. So I tried plugging it into my iPad, my iPad read it fine and the red light was blooming but I couldn’t get my sound bar working with it. All in all, really disappointed with the lack of quality and now my Amazon account has 2 back to back refunds being requested. I hope my review has helped.

Excellent optical link, I’m using it to output from my pc receiver , 5.1 out out for movies , easy to install and great value

I'm using with my laptop no problem and it seems to do a good job of transferring my audio to my soundbar. The device appears in Windows as an SPDIF device. As the title suggests and the supplier says in their comments, this does not work with PS5. I've not actually tried it with XBox Series X, but only wanted to use it for my PS5. It was stated by a customer that this does work with PS5, contary to what the description says, so my fault. I didn't want to lose video quality by using one of the HDMI audio extractors and wanted optical for my soundbar. My monitor doesn't have speakers, so this would have been ideal.

Compré este adaptador para conectar mi barra de sonido Sonos Ray al PC y la verdad es que cumple perfectamente con su función. La instalación fue muy sencilla: lo conecté y funcionó al instante, sin necesidad de configuraciones complicadas. La calidad de sonido es excelente, no he notado pérdidas ni interferencias. Se nota que transmite bien la señal y permite aprovechar al máximo la barra de sonido. Además, es un accesorio compacto y ligero, fácil de llevar o guardar. En resumen, un producto práctico, fiable y totalmente recomendable si necesitas una solución para conectar por óptico desde un puerto USB.

muy bien, me esta funcionado perfectamente!!

I'm using this to get digital audio out of a Raspberry Pi and into an SMSL SU-1 dac, and for that purpose it's exactly what I needed. I love how simple it is. I do think it's a tad expensive though, it's about the same price as an HDMI audio extractor which could do the same thing but this is a simpler device.. but whatever it works great. Side note: I've seen some reviews mentioning it doesn't work with Dolby or DTS. Although I haven't tried that, from what I know about optical audio there's really no reason it shouldn't work. It will not transcode your audio into Dolby or DTS though, as in it wont just output all audio that way. The software you're using must support sending those formats over optical audio (such as Kodi), and the file you're attempting to play must contain one of those audio formats. Once the software is configured to pass the audio through optical it should work.

Excellent produit, installation facile, reconnu immédiatement par Windows 10/11. Qualité sonore excellente en stéréo Sortie optique sans problème en 44.1,48,96,192 khz 16ou24 bits. Très bon rapport qualité/prix

Om man vill ha digitalt ljud med högsta kvalitet ut från en PC så är detta ett måste. Enkelt och suveränt.
