My new TV only has HDMI ports, but my old soundbar needs an optical cable for its input. This little converter solved the problem nicely. It was very easy to install, just a matter of plugging HDMI into the TV's eARC port, optical into my soundbar, and power from any available USB port. All the necessary cables are included, and from there I just needed to set my TV to use ARC/eARC for sound output.I like that this converter is focused solely on optical connections, as it simplified the setup process. Some converters I've tried would tell the TV that they could support Atmos and other formats that aren't compatible with optical/Toslink. With this optical-only model, I didn't need to go into menus to disable those modes. The device automatically enabled stereo, Dolby Digital, and DTS - working exactly as it should without additional steps.The converter feels nicely made and has helpful lights to indicate what type of audio signal it's receiving. It's been working great in my system, and I'm happy to be enjoying surround sound without needing to buy new speakers.

The eSynic Professional 192kHz eARC/ARC HDMI to Optical Audio Extractor is a great device for delivering Hi Fi sound by improving capabilities of a home entertainment sound system. It helps me achieve high-quality audio from my TV’s soundbar, but can also do this with other devices, including wireless headphones, or home theatre system.It takes audio signals from a TV's HDMI eARC/ARC port and converts it into an optical (TOSLINK) audio signal. This is useful if: your TV doesn’t have an optical output, but your sound system does; or if you want better sound quality than what your TV's speakers provide.If use is intended for a TV, I suggest first checking to make sure your TV’s HDMI Port has eARC capability (may have a label to show). Then connect the HDMI Cable into the eARC/ARC HDMI port and the other end into the extractor; connect the extractor (via optical cable) to the soundbar (or to AV receiver, or headphones transmitter).The device then extracts the Dolby 5.1, DTS 5.1, or PCM 2.0 sound and transmits it to your external audio system with no further setup required (Plug-and-Play).This setup produces enhanced sound quality by supporting up to 192kHz high-resolution audio for crystal-clear sound.
