Enables you to use the a full, "real" sound system instead of wimpy TV speakers. - It works! We recently bought a Samsung Blu-Ray player as a gift for my son-in-law and his sweetie. Their flat screen had so-so built-in speakers and their old skool receiver had no HDMI inputs, just stereo RCA analog audio inputs. I purchased this unit and ALSO purchased this cable C2G / Cables To Go 29115 Velocity S/PDIF Digital Audio Coax Cable (6 Feet) . When we hooked it up it immediately worked. Audio content from movies sounds good, clear. Sound is in sync with the picture. Now their setup has some real bass and oomph. This will be a solution for them until they can afford a modern 7.1 surround receiver/speaker setup. Note: We went into the Blu-Ray player's audio settings and confirmed that PCM was set as the default. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CAVEATS, TECHNICAL ADVICE: Caveat 1: This only produces stereo output (Left and Right analog audio jacks). In the setting of your Blu-Ray player: You ** have ** to use PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) output setting if you want this to work right -- it specifies that right on the box. Now, some people may have an older receiver that would have a feature to synthesize surround for a 5.1 system but usually, if you have that feature available to you, then one would "tend to" also have HDMI inputs on their receiver. If you have HDMI inputs on your audio receiver... why bother? This is a work around for those who don't. IF your receiver has HDMI inputs, the high likelihood is that you don't need this. IF your receiver has HDMI inputs and you aren't getting audio output 1. Check your settings and the sequence in which you turn components on (I find that turning on my plasma TV before turning on my receiver works better). 2. You might need to find an HDMI cable that specifies it has "audio return". All that being said, if you need this kind of workaround solution to deliver an analog feed an older sound system, then ---> running your Blu-Ray player's sound output through a decent stereo's analog inputs using this interface conversion box beats the pants off using the the wimpy speakers in most TVs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Caveat 2: OREI DOES ** NOT ** GIVE YOU A NON-OPTICAL (i.e. copper wire) CABLE ...which I believe will be the solution most people actually want. YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE ONE SEPARATELY. I strongly recommend buying a specifically "Digital" cable, labeled as being meant for SPDIF (Sony/Panasonic Digital Interface) like in the link I mentioned above - they run 5 - 10 dollars. If you try using a conventional RCA analog audio cable the digital signal may corrupt or the sound could stutter, especially over longer cable lengths. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Caveat 3: I suppose there may be some Blu-Ray players out there that, for cost cutting purposes, have omitted the SPDIF connector that looks like a single RCA jack. In which case this product would not be a solution you could use. Final note: This unit also comes with an optical connector interface and a probably 3 ft optical cable. I did not use that feature or test it so cannot speak to how well it works. You * could * run the blu-ray player's HDMI cable to your flat screen and then, IF it had an optical out, use the supplied optical cable to this OREI box and then run RCA analog cables to your stereo. The big unknown is: Will the audio output "lag" or stay in sync with your TV? Sometimes you can set video / sound delay in your TV. You'd just have to test. Again, if your receiver has HDMI built in, there is usually no need to use this kind of product. Review: Works flawlessly and no fuss! - Like many people who outfitted their entertainment systems with nice audio systems years ago, I'm between a rock and a hard place as a growing number of companies are no longer including standard RCA analog outputs on their equipment. Specifically, I purchased a Sony Blu-Ray/DVD player and it will output only HDMI or digital coaxial sound. That means for me that I can play it through my modern tv speakers only, but not through my twenty year old gorgeous sounding audio system which I love! Enter this nifty little converter, which was easy to use with only one difficulty, which was quickly resolved. First I hooked it up in the most obvious way possible. (In case anyone wants the obvious details: Plug one end of a digital coaxial cable into your Blu-Ray/DVD player and the other end into this converter box. Then plug a pair of red-and-white RCA cables into the converter and the other end into stereo receiver's input. Then plug the converter into a/c power outlet.) First result? Noise. So I looked at the box and noticed a red sticker that said "Important notice! please set the digital output of the audio source to PCM, otherwise there will be noise." I did that, and it worked like a charm. I had thought that since my device was set to "auto" it would automatically pick the right format, but it did not. The red sticker also warns you that the product doesn't decode dolby digital or DTS audio stream. So I guess if you have either of those, don't buy this! For me it worked great. If you do buy it, make sure you have a digital cable (coaxial or SPDIF optical) and a pair of red-and-white RCA cables. Neither are included. PROS Works great to hook up modern digital sound devices (Blu-Ray/DVD players for example) to an older audio receiver and speakers. Can also be used to hook up a device with digital sound output (ie. a DVD/Blu-Ray player) to stereo headphones via a simple headphone jack. Simple to use and good sound quality Directions minimal but essential info included via a red sticker on the box. Read the red sticker! CONS Doesn't work for dolby digital or DTS audio stream. Cables not included---buy your own first! ## Features - Converts coaxial or optical digital audio input to analog stereo output over RCA and 3.5mm mini jack. Will not convert Dolby Digital Signal. Make sure to change to TV Output To PCM - Supports all popular sample rates including 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz and 192kHz, at up to 24-bit resolution - This Device will not convert Dolby Sound. It is only a converter not a Decoder. So make sure your device does not require Dolby conversion. - TROUBLE SHOOT - If your getting a Clicking Sound - Most likely your TV output is not set to PCM. Please change it PCM. Or if your getting Screeching or No Sound - Most likely you are trying to decode Dolby Sound to Analog. You will need a DA34 or DA34X - INCLUDES DA21 Converter, Power supply, User Manual - KINDLY NOTE : The DA21 will only support PCM audio output mode.It doesn't support Dolby, DTS, 5.1ch or 7.1 ch audio signals. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008EPW7TA | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,194 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #72 in Digital-Analog Converters #79 in Signal Converters | | Brand | OREI | | Brand Name | OREI | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,310 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00610395790280 | | Interface | Coaxial | | Interface Type | Coaxial | | Item Dimensions L x W | 2.95"L x 2.17"W | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Orei Products | | Manufacturer Contact Information | info@orei.com | | Material Type | Plastic | | Minimum Supply Voltage | 5 Volts (DC) | | Model | DA21 | | Mounting Type | Cable Mount | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of Pins | 1, 2, 3 | | Packer Contact Information | info@orei.com | | Part Number | DA21 | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | UPC | 610395790280 887480723328 796594185772 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 104 Degrees Fahrenheit | | Warranty Description | 90 days warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** OREI - **Minimum Supply Voltage:** 5 Volts (DC) - **Mounting Type:** Cable Mount - **Number of Pins:** 1, 2, 3 - **Upper Temperature Rating:** 104 Degrees Fahrenheit ## Images ![OREI Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support & Headphone/Speaker Outputs (DA21) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511xOITacML.jpg) ![OREI Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support & Headphone/Speaker Outputs (DA21) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61na-3fm1sL.jpg) ![OREI Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support & Headphone/Speaker Outputs (DA21) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Wx4xbrsAL.jpg) ![OREI Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support & Headphone/Speaker Outputs (DA21) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dGnyyCl-L.jpg) ![OREI Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support & Headphone/Speaker Outputs (DA21) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BeozGn5wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works!

The stereo output is connected to an old all-in-one Panasonic Home Theatre System (it's from 2005, so it only plays DVD's). I use only a PS3 and Chromecast to view media, no cable. The device works very well, audio is always in sync and there is no distortion. I have had no overheating from the device. It hangs from the digital cable connected to the TV, so it probably receives decent cooling. I do have 2 complaints though. 1. Although the device is always powered on, sometimes the audio doesn't output immediately upon power up of the TV and PS3. This never occured with my old LG TV connected to the Panasonic System. It doesn't bother me though because it doesn't always happen and it lasts for at most 2 seconds. There is never interuptions after the TV is on. 2. Volume's maximum setting is much lower than when I had my old TV directly connected to the Panasonic system. This is an issue when watching Netflix if there are other semi-loud device on (fans, air conditioner, vaccuum). I would probably need an amplifier to get the volume I used to have with straight analog connections. I still think this is a good buy if you need to hook your new TV with digital only outputs to an old analog Home Theatre System. It's cheaper than buying a new system and it works fine. Just don't expect Movies to be at their loudest. Curiously, when streaming audio on the PS3, the volume get noticeably louder than other content. I'm very pleased with this item as it has worked great for the past 2 months. ## Frequently Bought Together - OREI Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support & Headphone/Speaker Outputs (DA21) - Amazon Basics Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable, Multi-Channel, for Audio System, Sound Bar, Home Theatre, Gold-Plated Connectors, 6 Foot, Black - PROZOR 192KHz Digital to Analog Audio Converter DAC Digital SPDIF Optical to Analog L/R RCA Converter Toslink Optical to 3.5mm Jack Adapter for PS3 HD DVD PS4 Amp Apple TV Home Cinema --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1212383-orei-optical-spdif-coaxial-digital-to-rca-l-r-analog](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1212383-orei-optical-spdif-coaxial-digital-to-rca-l-r-analog) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
