Can anyone make a recommendation for a reasonably priced unit for this? I see several for monoprice, ebay and the likes. I would like to go with something nicer than these units, but avoid the few esoteric ones I have come across.

They should all work the same, so I'd say go for it. You really shouldn't have to pay more than about $20 or $30 for one of these.

I am needing to go from Toslink out of a media player to my DAC which is only Coax.
I did just find that Gefen and Tributaries make ones for a decent price.

Monoprice. $12, free shipping. I was hesitant of Monoprice too, but everything of theirs I've tried, works great. MIDIMan was the only name brand manufacturer I could find for this type of product, but they no longer produce them.

I really don't care if it is visible or not. My goal was to pick one that worked and I was a little skeptical of some of the budget options, but didn't want to spend and arm and a let. I actually picked up a Gefen unit as there stuff typically works pretty well and it didn't break the bank. I haven't had a chance to hook it up yet so no official opinions of it yet. |
