My TV only has a toslink audio output. To feed an external Hi-Fi. Or rather it does also have a headphone socket, but the quality from that isn't Hi-Fi.
I already had a 'universal' D to A converter lying around which I've been using but it has several minus points - it's a not new 'pro' unit.
It is large. Comes up on the wrong input when powered up which has to be selected manually - or left on. The PS induces hum on other things, so it can't be positioned where I'd like it.
There are lots on Ebay - all at a pretty low price and look much the same as each other, so I bought one. Quoted spec is minimal.
It works ok except that the analogue output is low. Compared to everything else feeding the power amp. The TV does have a preset in software for the output level and it's now on max.
Been looking through the ones on Ebay, and none seem to quote the actual output. They are all also too small to add an amp inside easily - even if there was room.
Ideally, I'd like one with adjustable output level.
