DA-DD 192kHz 24bit Audio DAC USB-C to Optical Coaxial 3.5mm AUX Converter Decoder

Unlike other reviewers, I did not have any issues using this device at 24bit, 192000Hz. Nor did I have any issues with the device running off USB-C from my computer right to the devices USB-C connector. It just worked and works very well. Note, I'm using the spdif optical output from the device into my NAD C656 preamp/streamer.

coax and optical output cuts out, don't buy

So happy someone (Rei Yin apparently) made this little box - it's kind of a niche use case: connecting a Mac USB-C output to an SP/DIF Coax digital input but here it is and it works. Only alternative I can find is https://a.co/d/gxoWomI which costs a little more. It took a few attempts to get the digital sync right to avoid clicks and pops, but it seems good now. No power supply needed, no drivers, comes with a useful USB-A to USB-C adapter (which I didn't try).

*Make sure to set the sampling rate and bit depth to 24bits/192kHz in the sound properties shown in the image I included (Windows 10 - Right click on the speaker icon in the task bar, then click 'Sounds') Surprising there are no other options (other than Reiyin DD) in all of Amazon for Digital to Digital from a USB port. All other products are DACs. Really weird. I want my high quality receiver to do the Digital to Analog conversion. Deducting a star because the sound stops for a second once every few minutes when operating at 192 kHz. At 96kHz it does not do this.

I really wanted to like this little USB to digital converter. Unfortunately it uses to much of the processor resources confirmed by monitoring my pc's task manager. I wanted to use this at 16 or 24 bit 96 khz for streaming Amazon HD. At this setting it had constant glitches and drop outs, Another complaint is it will not let you give preference priority for streaming again on Amazon HD. I dropped the settings all the way down to 16 bit 44.1 khz (CD Quality) and it still misbehaved. I even purchased a better USB C cable thinking it may have been cheap cable they always include but to no avail. My PC is only a few years old and another USB converter I have bean using works fine it just can only go up to 24bit 48 khz. I have no choice at this point but to return it.

This converter works! I'm using it to provide a digital coax signal for my ancient Logitech z-5500 5.1 system. My fancy new "gaming" motherboard lacks digital audio outputs, and my water pump is generating noise on the analog audio outputs. The digital signal from the converter eliminates the noise, and allows me to use surround modes that aren't available with the analog only outputs of my motherboard. Now my z-5500 system sounds great at low volumes and when its loud enough to shake the neighbor's house.

You can't use usb c to usb c, gotta get adapter. Would occasionally disconnect then reconnect causing music to pause.

It worked perfectly to output my mbp usb c to receiver through toslink. One weird thing is, my original mbp cable cannot be recognized if I replace the attached usb-a/usb-c cable, maybe it is OTG related? Sound quality is wonderful! Finally mbp is enabled with external speaker, cool!
