Great Product

For such a modest price I wasn't expecting much but to my surprise this little gem made my speakers pop. You can really hear the difference when digital signals are converted to analog. Well worth the price.

Works as advertised. I have not used the coax, but the optical with the included cable works well. Now I can use my older, but powerful receiver with the new TV.
