1. INTRODUCTION

The Optical to Analog Audio Converter (DAC) with Dolby® Digital

Decoder provides the ideal solution for converting an optical digital

audio signal to analog stereo audio. With audio sampling rate support

up to 48 kHz (Dolby Digital)/96 kHz (LPCM) and I/O data rate support

up to 24-bit, it provides high quality sound conversion. The Dolby

Digital Decoder function guarantees that Dolby digital audio signals

are downmixed to analog stereo without loss of quality.

This unit is perfect for use in computer audio systems or digital mixing

consoles and can be powered from any spare USB port allowing it

to be used with USB equipped HDTVs, Blu-ray players or computers

without the need for a separate power supply.

2. APPLICATIONS

• Converting digital optical audio into analog stereo

• Converting Dolby Digital formatted audio into analog stereo

• HDTV with only digital audio output to analog ampliﬁ er input

• Improving the digital to analog conversion quality from any stereo

optical digital audio source

3. PACKAGE CONTENTS

• Optical to Analog Audio Converter with Dolby Digital Decoder

• Mini-USB to USB A type cable

• Operation Manual

4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Digital audio source device such as DVD/Blu-ray player or Media

player with an optical output cable and to a device such as an

ampliﬁ er or AV receiver with analog stereo input.
