800 Pieces of Clear Plastic Balloon Clip Ties Sealing Balloons for Wedding Party Christmas Birthday Decoration (H Shape)

I purchased this product because my TV (2013 Panasonic Viera VT60) did not come with a headphone jack. While my TV is bluetooth capable, I wanted to run it through a set of 400watt computer speakers for a temporary setup. . . . all of this to say this product works great. It was super easy to install, and I was up and running in less than 5 minutes. At the time of writing this, I've had it for about 4 months with no issues.

When it worked and it did work well on my new LG Nano tv for 6 months. The sound was excellent. I use Sennheiser wireless headphones. Then I first noticed a lag between spoken word and sound. Then then it got so bad that I could not understand anything on Netflix, Apple TV, Prime and on many network shows. Since I have had other decoders I knew it was not my Sennheiser. I checked all the cables and found that it was no longer doing what it was suppose to be doing and there was really no decoding at all. The sound was terrible-shrill and mostly unintelligible. When I bought it. OREI indicated I had a year guarantee. However, it is impossible to contact OREI or Bombay. When it worked it was excellent. When it stopped. The sound was awful. Just depends how you value 55 dollars. Too bad it seemed like an excellent product. I think I will buy cheaper ones then I can easily buy several a year because none seem to last too long. Good LuckMonth later. I finally got a hold of OREI and they turned out to be very helpful. They honored the year warranty and sent me a new decoder. But the question is why don’t these decoders work. Oddly, I have read that most of them are not suppose to work with Netflix, Prime, Appletv, etc and are for the streaming channels which makes little sense. While dealing with OREI I used what I call my back up decoder and seems to have other problems-for example the sound on BBC TV was terrible. The sound on most regular channels was fine and the sound on Netflix, Prime, and Apple was very good. I am beginning to believe that the problem is the electronics of the optical out plus the decoder and that somehow the signal gets unstable which causes problems for the decoders. I believe the problem is that the damn TV producers did not put the audio out as they use to and their electronics on the optical out is not very good. Otherwise what causes these devices to go out. I have a new LG tv. I don’t see LG making a digital to analog decoder. On my old Samsung which I had for 9 years their was the audio out for the red and white connections as well as the optical out. Seems wrong to have to spend over a 100 dollars a year for these decoders which tend to auto destruct in a matter of weeks or months. Right.

Took a while to arrive so i bought a monster one from Walmart and then this arrived a few days later and wow! A huge improvement in sound from the $25 walmart one. It was like night and day difference. Louder and clearer. We have an old 1997 jbl surround system that only had the rca cables and this works great. We 98% just use the stereo setting which is 2 speakers and sub and it works great. But also works on the full 5.1 surround even though its not true surround it still works great. This is a good investment. For a small box its works well. Only complaint was the time it took to arrives which was a few weeks.

I like the DA34 very much. I use it with a computer. This was my first decoder. It took me more than a week to create a digital receiver using the DA34 and VLC. An explanation for the LED status indicators is in the manual from the box. When the light flashes red, the decoder is decoding Dolby. When the light is flash green, the decoder is decoding DTS. I needed this information to configure the VLC media player. Now I am able to have what I always wanted, a "home theater PC."

I needed to convert a digital audio out to RCA for headphones. I have purchased 3 different one that simply DID NOT WORK. As other have said in their review THIS ONE WORKS PERFECTLY! I spent hour trying to figure out why the other didn't work. They were converters and you need a Decoder. It is plug and play.

I liked it working with my LG tv

I recently received my new 55 inch Panasonic plasma for use in my master bedroom. After some settings adjustments (CNET is a good place for some guidance)the picture quality is great. However, the sound quality is not up to the same standard. I have a sound system in my bedroom comprised of an NAD receiver and some old, but still excellent, Palantir speakers. No surround or Dolby, etc. Just stereo.I was disappointed by the connectivity available from the TV, since it had only SPDIF (toslink) audio out, as well as ARC in the HDMI 2 port. It provided no way to hook the TV up to my receiver that has only traditional RCA jacks as inputs. The electronics world has indeed become a connectivity Tower of Babel.Available solutions were to ditch the old receiver for a new one with the right connectivity options, and/or abandon my speakers and get a sound bar.After a bit of research, I was able to find that there are small DACs available to convert the the TV's digital output to something my receiver can use.However, upon further review, another complication entered the picture.Most of the standard DACs available are not able to convert the Dolby signal from the the Panasonic.Note to Panasonic - great TV but fix the connectivity issues. How difficult would it have been to include a couple of pair of RCA output jacks?)Enter the Orei DA34. The unit and a couple of cables (toslink into and stereo RCA jacks out of) solved the problem perfectly.Well....not quite. It seems that when the TV speakers are set to off (like when you are using an external system) that you can't use the TV's remote to control the volume. In the good old days, TV manufacturers included two types of output jacks, those that produced fixed output levels, and those that produced variable output, enabling use of the TV's remote to control volume.I don't know whether I will live with getting up to adjust volume. But in the meantime, I recommend the Orei DA34 DAC as a great solution for hooking up modern TVs to older preamps, integrateds or receivers.P.S. BTW, the vendor has provided fantastic support so far, quickly and professionally resolving a small issue that came up.
